Biden meets family of black man shot by US police
[EN.ALGHADEER.TV] Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
met Thursday with relatives of Jacob Blake, the black father shot by a white policeman in Wisconsin, as the presidential hopeful undertakes a mission to help a community come together after days of violent mostly peaceful unrest.

The Democratic nominee and his wife Jill Biden were bound for Kenosha, where Blake’s shooting sparked demonstrations that turned deadly last week.

But not before they met at Milwaukee’s airport with several members of Blake’s family, including his father and three siblings. Blake’s mother participated by telephone.
Did they compare finger techniques?
The meeting was private, and news hounds and photographers accompanying Biden were not invited inside.

The Biden visit, his first major trip since June due to months of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
restrictions, marks an intensification of his presidential campaign two months before the US election against President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
As the Democratic nominee visits the city at the heart of recent US protests against racism and police brutality, is Trump barnstorming across battleground states, pitching his "law-and-order" message and reiterating his attacks on the integrity of mail-in voting.

The pandemic-induced lockdown has left Biden spending most of his time hunkered in his Wilmington, Delaware home or delivering nearby speeches to news hounds, but that slack period appears to be coming to an end.

With the two candidates now sprinting to Election Day on November 3, Biden has announced his intention to return to the campaign trail in earnest for the first time since March, when in-person campaigning was scrapped due to the coronavirus.

Trump long ago threw caution to the wind. In recent weeks he has visited Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Arizona, New Hampshire and North Carolina, with a rally scheduled for Thursday evening in Pennsylvania, a major swing state.

Biden’s trip to Wisconsin, which Trump narrowly flipped from Democrats in his improbable 2016 election victory, is a campaign call that also aims to help an embattled city "move forward" after days of violent mostly peaceful and deadly unrest.

He will no doubt aim to offer a contrasting vision to the law-and-order message that Trump delivered when he flew Tuesday to Kenosha to survey damage and meet with law enforcement and business owners.

"We’ve got to heal," Biden, 77, said Wednesday in Delaware.

"And so my purpose in going will be to do just that, to be a positive influence on what’s going on."

#1 Biden also made a bizarre comment claiming Edison did not invent the light bulb.

This might even make the network news tonight as Pelosi's shampoo/coloring/blowdry made the network news earlier this week.
