WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Jill Biden is kicking off her husband’s outreach to older voters, an effort that will blend rallies and phone banks with social events like bingo nights and pickleball games.

While President Joe Biden is in Italy attending the Group of Seven summit, the first lady will travel to four swing states to launch the Seniors for Biden-Harris effort. Older adults are more likely than the average American to vote, and they make up larger shares of the population in some key swing states. Biden, who outperformed previous Democrats with the demographic in 2020, is looking to expand on the gains as his campaign seeks to maximize its chances of defeating former President Donald Trump, the Republican presumptive nominee.

Jill Biden’s travels will take her to Green Bay, Wisconsin; Duluth, Minnesota; Reno, Nevada; and Phoenix, the campaign said. While her events will feel like traditional rallies, the campaign also plans to use pickleball events and bingo nights to motivate older voters and keep them activated to help the campaign heading into November.

“Seniors are such a critical part of our coalition, and it is vitally important that we engage them this election cycle because they know President Biden is the only candidate in this race fighting for lower prescription drug and health care costs and to protect and safeguard Medicare and Social Security,” Biden campaign manager Julia Chavez Rodriguez said. “Dr. Biden is both a trusted voice for seniors speaking to the issues that matter most to them and a galvanizing force to activate our supporters ahead of the election.”

Jill Biden had spent much of the last 10 days at a federal courthouse in Wilmington, Delaware, supporting her son Hunter Biden, who on Tuesday was convicted on federal firearms charges. The swing marks her return to the campaign trail after the trying experience for her family.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Joe, a little advice ... make sure the guy calling the bingo numbers is fast, speaks loudly and clearly, and is not concerned about 2nd hand smoke ... the ol' bitties will turn on you if the bingo caller is too slow and cannot be heard.

Sure bingo and pickle ball will totally make seniors forget about not being able to afford food and higher gas and utilities and the skimpy COLA planned for next year that is less than the BS inflation numbers from the Fed, forget reality. What are seniors supposed to identify with when it comes to Joe and Jill, dementia patients abused by their caregivers?

At first I was insulted by this tactic.

But then I became amused. Maybe Jill and Joey want something to do during this campaign. :rolling:

Maybe Biden should start handing out cans of cat food.

Might as well hand out cans of real tuna since anymore they cost about the same, or more if you are into feeding your cat premium food.
