Biden Has Been Much Less Active Than Other Candidates

By Leave a Comment

CNN: “The former vice president has held 11 public events since launching his campaign on April 25. That’s fewer than most other candidates: former Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas had held 12 by the end of his second night as a presidential candidate. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts held the same number — four — in Iowa on Sunday that Biden has held to date there. And Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont held three in New Hampshire on Monday, matching Biden’s total for the entire campaign.”

“And unlike most of his opponents, Biden has usually declined to take questions from his crowds or reporters.”
