Biden’s Campaign Is Too Nervous To Door-Knock In A Pandemic, Leaving Some Democrats Panicked
September 19, 2020 By Jordan Davidson
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign team is not door-knocking due to fears of COVID-19 spread, and some Democrats are beginning to get anxious about being physically absent from the campaign trail, especially in swing states.
While the campaign claims it will start knocking on doors soon, and some congressional democratic candidates have resumed on-the-ground operations, none of their efforts compare to the amount of ground Trump and other Republican candidates covered beginning in June.
“Everything is one-sided on the ground,†Joe Gruters, the chairman of the Florida Republican Party, told NPR. “We’re doing our many rallies, we’re doing the bus tours, we’re doing meet and greets. We’re doing it in person. The difference is … there’s no opposition on the other side.â€
According to the Trump campaign, it knocked on 1 million doors in one week and 14 million doors since June, many of which were in swing states.
