Fans of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden say they’re willing to risk the threat of coronavirus in order to attend his inauguration in person, according to The Daily Beast.
Much of Biden’s inauguration is likely to be virtual, and his White House transition team is actively courting inauguration donors with the promise of interactive, online events rather than the typical in-person meetups, cocktail parties, and balls that typically herald a new president.
Biden’s swearing-in ceremony will likely be traditional, however, and his voters say that despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic — a pandemic many of them believe President Donald Trump mismanaged — they will travel to the National Mall to witness the inauguration in person (though they promise to follow social distancing and masking recommendations).
“Due to the surging number of coronavirus infections across the country, President-elect Joe Biden has encouraged his supporters not to attend his inauguration—an event that could easily have drawn hundreds of thousands of people to the Capitol,†the outlet reported. “Tickets to the event will be heavily restricted and the surrounding events notably toned down. It seems like the rational choice for a man who derided Donald Trump for hosting massive rallies in hotspots around the country and superspreader events at the White House. But some Biden supporters say they’re still planning on attending—warnings and hypocrisy be damned.â€
