why wouldn't he have a campaign event scheduled for today?Huge fail by Biden today, what were his handlers thinking?! You hide in the basement for months, and TODAY you have a major campaign event?
Now is not the time to stop a campaign.If I were Biden I would cancel all events for the time being. I’m surprised he hasn’t.
You risk losing more votes than you gain if you continue campaigning while Trump lies ill.Now is not the time to stop a campaign.
Election Day is coming.
I agree about the negative ads. But the world does not stop turning, and you do not risk losing momentum.
Yeah, he could give it a day or two at least. I don't think he can stop campaigning completely / indefinitely though.You risk losing more votes than you gain if you continue campaigning while Trump lies ill.
Not Biden.You risk losing more votes than you gain if you continue campaigning while Trump lies ill.
If I were Biden I would cancel all events for the time being. I’m surprised he hasn’t.
Is he not allowed to? Why should he cancel when he is testing negative?Huge fail by Biden today, what were his handlers thinking?! You hide in the basement for months, and TODAY you have a major campaign event?
So Pence keeps his schedule...but Biden should change his?
This is the problem with not having an honest and even media Tim. They should have been savaging Biden for giving this ridiculous speech while the President was having corona symptoms and in quarantine. God knows they would if the shoe was on the other foot.
But yeah, the media should bash Biden for continuing.The Trump campaign just sent out a fundraising email titled “Lyin Obama”
I disagree. He wasn't popping big rallies/groups anyway. His style was much more COVID safety respectful. He's right in suspending the negative ads....and he shouldn't be negative.You risk losing more votes than you gain if you continue campaigning while Trump lies ill.
But, Biden ....The Trump campaign just sent out a fundraising email titled “Lyin Obama”
If only we had some idea how Trump would react should his political opponent suffer a respiratory ailment at this exact time prior to an election...But, Biden ....
The negative ads were much less effective to begin with, so not only is this the right thing to do, it’s likely to lead to a more optimal allocation of campaign funds!Jonathan Martin @jmartNYT · 26s
NEWS:
@JoeBiden is taking down his negative ads, going all-positive, per source familiar.
Decision was made *before* WH put out word Trump was going to Walter Reed
Excellent point. The hand is on the other foot.If only we had some idea how Trump would react should his political opponent suffer a respiratory ailment at this exact time prior to an election...
I don’t agree with Biden’s decision but I wouldn’t savage him for it. He’s done nothing to deserve the criticism you’re offering.
This is the problem with not having an honest and even media Tim. They should have been savaging Biden for giving this ridiculous speech while the President was having corona symptoms and in quarantine. God knows they would if the shoe was on the other foot.
In the future, I’m really hoping that “Hey, Trump would have done it!” isn’t offered as a political justification.If only we had some idea how Trump would react should his political opponent suffer a respiratory ailment at this exact time prior to an election...
Think about Hillary and the Flu, we know what he would do.If only we had some idea how Trump would react should his political opponent suffer a respiratory ailment at this exact time prior to an election...But, Biden ....
Who says Trump lies ill? Trump didn't suggest that this was anything more than precautionary as he left for Walter Reed.You risk losing more votes than you gain if you continue campaigning while Trump lies ill.
Because he and Kamala were just doing a fundraiser sliming the President, after the Biden speech.The Trump campaign just sent out a fundraising email titled “Lyin Obama”
Its not would have...he mocked Hillary for getting sick.In the future, I’m really hoping that “Hey, Trump would have done it!” isn’t offered as a political justification.
Tim is talking about an event in the future. His point and his comment have ZERO to do with Hillary.Its not would have...he mocked Hillary for getting sick.
Cool he was responding to a post that wasn’t some hypothetical Trump would have done...a post that had everything to do with Hillary.Tim is talking about an event in the future. His point and his comment have ZERO to do with Hillary.
His point was being made to that poster (and presumably other readers) and stands on it's own without the specifics of the other post.Cool he was responding to a post that wasn’t some hypothetical Trump would have done...a post that had everything to do with Hillary.
He used his speech to talk about issues...imagine that.DJ Judd@DJJudd·35m
Trump comms director Tim Murtaugh tells @ryanobles & me they won't pull negative ads, even though Biden did.
“Joe Biden used his speech in MI today to attack the President repeatedly on Social Security, the economy & job creation.
He's not out of the woods yet. It still may be too early to know for sure if he contracted this Tuesday night.I am very happy that Biden has a very healthy immune system and able to have shared the Debate all with so many Covid infected people and have the strength to fight it off.
I hope everyone recovers and it would be very troubling if both candidates had tested positive.
There is a realistic chance that Biden ends up debating Mike Pence.I think it's a better than 50/50 shot that there is no more presidential debates, and the last major public impression the public gets is Pence vs Kamala.
Odd...I was told Im the only one who thinks Biden should still campaign...oops.In response to anyone who still thinks Biden should stop campaigning:
INBOX: Trump campaign launches “Operation MAGA” to keep campaign at full speed The campaign is highlighting that Vice President Pence and campaign who can travel as well as host events virtually will do so while President Trump recovers.

(full note from Trump campaign in tweet)
Not unless Pence replaces Trump as the nominee. Is that what you are suggesting might happen?There is a realistic chance that Biden ends up debating Mike Pence.
If the next two debates are going to be anything like the first, I think this is actually the ideal scenario for the GOP. By simply being calm and coherent, Pence will earn a much more positive reaction than Trump did on Tuesday.I think it's a better than 50/50 shot that there is no more presidential debates, and the last major public impression the public gets is Pence vs Kamala.
The GOP cannot, they CANNOT, be excited about that prospect.
Unless Pence becomes the official Republican candidate the Democrats shouldn’t allow it.There is a realistic chance that Biden ends up debating Mike Pence.
