Presidential Candidates <br />Turn to 'Virtual' Campaigns Amid <br />Coronavirus Pandemic Due to the global pandemic, <br />candidates are having to avoid<br />gatherings with large crowds. Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden has announced <br />all of his future campaign events will be "virtual." Political experts say they may be similar to <br />what Biden recently did at Philadelphia's <br />National Constitution Center. The former vice president spoke at a podium <br />alongside only his wife, Jill Biden. Far behind him was<br />a small group of supporters. News networks carried his speech, <br />which was also streamed online. Democratic strategist Jesse Ferguson <br />says virtual campaigns have been <br />in the works for a while.
