Biden Campaign to Begin In-Person Get-Out-the-Vote Efforts

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign will begin reaching out to voters in person for the first time this week, stepping up its get-out-the-vote efforts while observing coronavirus-related safety precautions in the final weeks before Election Day.

Volunteers will begin in-person canvassing this weekend in Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, the campaign said Thursday, with operations beginning in other competitive states next week. Biden’s campaign, which has been largely virtual since he officially became the nominee in August, is targeting voters who couldn’t be contacted through phone and digital outreach over the past several months, an official said.
