WASHINGTON – Joe Biden is facing some stiff competition in getting his campaign message out. President Donald Trump spent much of the weekend using Twitter as a bullhorn to urge “law and order” and tougher action by police against protesters around the country.
Biden quietly visited the site of protests in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, and talked to some of the demonstrators.
Earlier, he wrote a post on Medium expressing empathy for those despairing about the killing of George Floyd. That low-key, high-touch approach may be a sign of how the presumptive Democratic nominee presents himself in the five months before the presidential election, emphasizing calm and competence as a contrast to a mercurial president.
