With nine days left before the 2020 election, former Vice President Joe Biden
is off the campaign trail without any in-person events scheduled.
On Sunday, Biden’s campaign called a “lid” on in-person campaigning for
the day. A “lid” usually also means the campaign will not conduct press
conferences or dispense press releases the remainder of the day. Biden’s
campaign clarified that this was not a “full lid” since the former vice
president would speak to supporters late-Sunday evening at a virtual “I will
vote” concert.
Given that the general election is slightly more than a week away, the news
of Biden’s “lid” elicited rebuke on social media from some reporters and
supporters of President Donald Trump.
More than a few were quick to note that the Democrat nominee’s schedule
stands in stark contrast to that of Trump, who has increased his travel in
recent weeks as the general election has kicked into gear. On Sunday alone,
Trump is scheduled to appear at a get out to vote rally in New Hampshire,
before traveling to neighboring Maine. Following that, Trump is scheduled to
return to the White House where he and the first family will host a Halloween
event.
Despite having what some believe to be a “light” public schedule, Biden has
recently mocked Trump for appearing to struggle to walk down a ramp during a
commencement ceremony at West Point this year. The former vice president
repeated the attack last month when asked about his fitness to be
commander-in-chief.
“I’m not the guy who can’t run up or down the platform, the ramp to get to
deliver a commencement speech in an academy,” Biden said.
4.附註、心得、想法︰
星期日，拜登的競選活動在當天的親身競選活動中屬「無可奉告 (lid)」。 「無可奉告
(call a lid)」通常亦意味著，競選活動將當天不舉行任何新聞發布會或發佈新聞稿。
拜登的競選活動澄清說，這並不是「全日休息」，因為前副總統將在周日傍晚在網上「I
will vote」音樂會上與支持者講話。
鑑於距離大選只剩約一星期的時間，拜登的「無可奉告 」消息引起了一些記者和川普支
持者在社交媒體上的譴責。
