WASHINGTON – Joe Biden's campaign wouldn't let reporters listen to a question-and-answer session during a virtual fundraiser with Wall Street donors on Thursday night, a break from its usual procedures and from the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's past pronouncements about promoting transparency.
The former vice president's campaign suggested that such press limits would be common going forward as Biden prepares to square off with President Donald Trump in November. “Tonight’s event was a new format as we enter a new phase of the general election campaign,” Rufus Gifford, Biden's deputy campaign manager, said in a statement.
