Joe Biden would lead ten points in the national polls.
–
Face to Donald Trump who criss-crosses the country despite the pandemic, Joe Biden, masked, opts for small meetings close to his home. And despite the mockery of the Republican president, who accuses him of hiding, the Democratic candidate for the White House takes off in the polls. The road remains long until the presidential election of November 3 and the former American vice-president, known for his blunders, will not be able to avoid very long yet to throw himself into the arena to directly confront the tempestuous Republican billionaire.
The contrast between the two men is striking, underlined by extraordinary circumstances. A few chairs installed in a garden, at a good distance recommended to avoid the spread of Covid-19. Mask under the chin, Joe Biden converses in a compassionate voice with a handful of women and children who have suffered from serious illnesses. Then he gives a speech in an almost empty room, where the rare journalists, installed in circles marking the same safety distance on the ground, cannot ask questions.
The former right-hand man of Barack Obama has traveled only 70 kilometers from his home in Wilmington, in neighboring Delaware, to reach these two meetings in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It was the first time that Joe Biden had organized a public event in person since his rival marked his return to campaign rallies in front of thousands of supporters, rarely masked and shoulder to shoulder, in Oklahoma on Saturday. “Biden is hiding,” Donald Trump regularly accuses. ” Why ? Because he does not have the strength, energy and mental rigor to run the country, ”he was pinned to his campaign team’s Twitter account.
Thursday at Lancaster, Joe Biden in return tackled his rival for his management of the pandemic: “It looks like a child who simply can not believe that it happened to him. He just whines and feels sorry. ” The coronavirus pandemic has killed more than 120,000 people in the United States and caused a deep economic crisis. Since the death of George Floyd at the end of May, the country has also been seized by a historic movement of anger against racism and police brutality.
