Biden stuck in shadows as surrogates pitch candidacy

Everyone seems to be promoting presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s run for the White House except the candidate himself.

Pundits and Democratic Party members alike, including former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, have pushed for Biden to stay out of the spotlight, arguing his candidacy fares better if he allows Trump to do the talking. But his choice to hide away from the media over the last several months has pushed staff members and his wife to the forefront of his campaign to pitch a candidate whose main calling cards are his anti-Trump posture, policy positions, and a notion of electability supported by those desperate to oust President Trump in 2020.
