2020 ELECTION/JOE BIDEN/MEDIA: “CNN’s Brian Stelter questioned Biden campaign national press secretary TJ Ducklo on why former Vice President Joe Biden is not making himself more available to the media as the 2020 election draws closer…
Ducklo deflected by continuing to tout Biden’s press engagement while dinging Trump some more. While Stelter acknowledged that the Biden campaign has effective strategy going for themselves, ‘I just think that Biden owes the public access all the time, even in the midst of a pandemic.’
‘Well, look…I think we are, absolutely. And I think we are drawing a contrast for folks, that this election is a choice,’ Ducklo responded. ‘It is a choice between two candidates. Joe Biden is the polar opposite of Donald Trump in every way and his experience, in his character, in his empathy. We are drawing that contrast.'”
