Joe Biden has nixed plans to travel to Milwaukee to accept the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.

Biden, the two-term vice president and 36-year United States senator, was expected to be crowned his party’s 2020 standard-bearer in Milwaukee, along with his yet-to-be-revealed running mate. But the Democratic National Convention Committee and his campaign altered their arrangements as Wisconsin and other Midwestern states experience a rise in COVID-19 cases.
