Eigth years of being the American Vice President….
Three years of being President…..
That’s more than Eleven years of being in the protective ‘bubble’….
Of in the leadership of the United States of America….
Hmmmm?
His handlers want him to go back to who he has always been ….
Just a ‘regular guy’ working people close up…
Something Joe Biden has NOT been for a LONG time….
Could THAT help a guy who really doesn’t like to work large rallies like the other guy named Trump, who IS a performer and entertainer….
One of the changes will be on display Friday when Biden travels to Pennsylvania. He plans to ditch his usual format of delivering a prepared speech to an assembled audience and to instead make a series of stops at smaller venues, according to the White House. The format, aides say, allows Biden to engage more organically, and directly, with voters.
Biden embraced the approach this week, too. After he delivered aspeech at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, he changed out of his suit and tie for an unscheduled stop at Hannibal’s Kitchen nearby. He entered the restaurant holding a baseball cap, then spent about an hour talking to patrons, posing for selfies and recording a local radio interview.
“I forgot how much I love doing this,” he told aides afterward, according to a senior adviser to the campaign.
While informal is often easier to pull off at some campaign events, Biden is also trying the tactic with official presidential events. For a speech at the Black Chamber of Commerce in Milwaukee last month, he chose not to wear a tie and added a quick stop at a small business before the main event.
Biden aides say several factors have hindered his ability to regularly engage with voters in that way since he took office, including a Covid-19 pandemic that initially required strict testing protocols and social distancing around the president. There’s also a much heavier layer of security around a president than a vice president and far less flexibility in his schedule, aides note.
But aides say another key factor has been Biden’s own view of the presidency. While he embraced an informal public approach as a senator, vice president and even a presidential candidate, Biden’s inclination since he entered the White House is to always appear “presidential,” aides say….
