On Monday, presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden emerged from his basement to make his public appearance, in over two months, near his Delaware residence for Memorial Day.
Biden and his wife Jill were seen laying a wreath at a veterans park, and both were wearing black masks.
Since the Chinese coronavirus began, Biden has swapped live campaign stops for virtual events from his Wilmington home, with the shift yielding a series of awkward moments for the gaffe-prone candidate, Breitbart reported.
