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.

星期日，拜登的竞选活动在当天的亲身竞选活动中属“无可奉告 (lid)”。 “无可奉告
(call a lid)”通常亦意味着，竞选活动将当天不举行任何新闻发布会或发布新闻稿。
拜登的竞选活动澄清说，这并不是“全日休息”，因为前副总统将在周日傍晚在网上“I
will vote”音乐会上与支持者讲话。
鉴于距离大选只剩约一星期的时间，拜登的“无可奉告 ”消息引起了一些记者和川普支
持者在社交媒体上的谴责。
