Coronavirus: Joe Biden’s virtual campaign against Donald Trump struggling
Joe Biden is under growing pressure to leave home isolation at some point soon and hit the hustings as his virtual campaign struggles to capture the attention of Americans.
Democrats are increasingly worried that the former Vice President’s public profile is being diminished and his political message drowned out by trying to campaign without leaving his house.
The 78-year-old presumptive Democratic nominee has so far been forced to conduct his campaign via video from his home in Wilmington Delaware because of the coronavirus pandemic. Biden has appeared on video messages, virtual town halls, talk shows and a podcast but it has not been enough to capture broad public attention during the coronavirus pandemic.
The 126 videos that Biden’s campaign have put on YouTube this year have averaged only 28,000 views. By comparison, Barack Obama’s recent video endorsing his former Vice President had 1.9 million views.
