As Twitchy reported, presidential candidate Joe Biden called a lid at 9:32 a.m. Saturday, making it the 11th day this month he’s essentially told the journalists assigned to his campaign that he won’t be leaving the basement. However, both his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, and Sen. Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, made a stop in Nebraska before heading to Cedar Rapids, where they reportedly were “just chillin’.”
The Omaha World-Herald reported that “Biden campaign officials said they have been more responsible than Trump, limiting crowds and requiring social distancing and masks, as they did on Saturday.” The paper didn’t give an estimate of the crowd, but there were photos.

We checked the World-Herald’s photo just to make sure this was the Oklahoma gathering, and yes, it is. It’s too bad Biden couldn’t make it.
Seven. In totalhttps://t.co/4WatI0QEow

Fantastic rally.
9 persons seated including the speaker Jill Biden. 1 standing. All observe social distancing norms of about 12 feet to 20 feet. How can the speaker be heard? ??
Why are the rally participants sitting in ill-matched chairs?
Where's Joe Biden???

How many are campaign staff?

The grass growth rate may be more enthusiastic

Good grief! Is this a book club meeting or an AA meeting? Why isn’t Biden out campaigning? Where’s Kamala? Would Jill be running things in the White House. Either they believe the phony polls & are complacent, or they’re just going thru the motions because they know they’ve lost.

I had more people at my BBQ 2 weeks ago. At least I saw a Biden sign so now I know they actually exist

That is the saddest campaign event I’ve ever seen.
— A.C. Spollen (@ACSpollen) September 26, 2020
At least they saved a lot of money by not having to pay people to show up.

Haha I had more people wiping my car down at the car wash this morning…

I went to a bridal shower this summer that looked like that. It is like the Biden camp feels they don’t even have to look like they are trying.

Wow. Double the size of Joe's crowds.

I feel like I'm looking at a pasture.

Omg. There would be more there if he was running for city council.

This is for real?

Yeah, it’s real.
Where is Joe?????

That’s sad. Come on man. ??

Seriously?? And he is leading in polls??

Based on the photos, I’d say she had about the same amount of people in Maine yesterday too.
— Eric Blair Warned Us 6% (@SheepleRWaking) September 26, 2020
So, she is doing all the campaigning. Looks like a lot of enthusiasm ???. I counted 10 people!!!!
— Connie Day (@DayCday2) September 26, 2020
There’s no way they can hear her.
— Korey Keling (@korey_keling) September 26, 2020
How is this even a real presidential campaign?! So weird. And Biden's poll numbers are higher than Trump's despite his huge rallies in comparison? Crazy world!

Without the white circles, this is just a superspreader event.
— Atlas 2020 (@DrJenME) September 26, 2020
The thing that amazes me is, who the hell would show up at one of these events? Are people that lonely?
— RSW (@rswcatlover) September 26, 2020
Looks like a knitting class?

I hope it’s a pitch by a power washing service.

It's a seance.
— Buzzy Caldwell (@BuzzyCaldwell4) September 26, 2020
It looks like a timeshare sales event. ?
— Carry (@boatgirl3) September 26, 2020
They mock us with these pictures! He doesn’t need to campaign because the media is doing it for him 24/7
— @GraceDevine (@DevinsGrace) September 26, 2020
True.
