Judy Henning, said that despite Biden’s victory, she still worries about Trump. “I think he’s quite frightening and unpredictable,” Henning, 79, told @karina_elwood: https://t.co/Iaf7tmdG3w — PolitiTweet.org

Friday’s event at a suburban park had the feel of a traditional campaign event from the pre-pandemic times. The atmosphere was festive, with people getting ice cream from carts and Ds roaming the entrance with clipboards in search of volunteer canvassers. https://t.co/Iaf7tmdG3w — PolitiTweet.org

In attacking Trump by name, Biden signaled in the most direct terms yet his intention to help his party revive last year’s rivalry on the political battlefield. https://t.co/Iaf7tmdG3w — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Pres. Biden on Friday launched a frontal attack on Donald Trump at a campaign rally for Terry McAuliffe, leading a concerted effort to tie the Democrat’s opponent in the VA gov race to the ex-president. Story/color from the rally, w/ @karina_elwood: https://t.co/Iaf7tmdG3w — PolitiTweet.org

Crowd estimate at the Biden/McAuliffe event, per the McAuliffe camp, is just under 3000 people. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the fundamental Qs of this race -- and perhaps the '21/'22 races more broadly -- is whether the anti-Trump intensity in the burbs that propelled Biden to the WH and Ds to power in the Congress will continue -- or not. D candidates in VA clearly trying to make it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

One name the parade of intro speakers at the Biden /McAuliffe rally are saying over and over again: Donald Trump “Donald Trump has endorsed Glenn Youngkin three times,” says Rep. Don Beyer of McAuliffe’s opponent. https://t.co/n2XOX8SjA7 — PolitiTweet.org

We'll find out later if Pres. Biden mingles w/the crowd and does a rope line/selfies/handshakes. Attendees didn't have to get tested. Fully vaccinated told they could go maskless, per invite. Those who are not told to mask up/distance. So basically, the honor system. — PolitiTweet.org

The setup in Arlington where Pres. Biden will campaign for Terry McAuliffe in a couple of hours. Vibe here is very much like a pre-pandemic campaign event. Upbeat music. Ice cream. Campaign people walking through w/clipboards. Some people wearing face masks but most are not. https://t.co/gU7ZrXdNuR — PolitiTweet.org

Sean Sullivan @WaPoSean

Per WH, invitation sent to general audience members for today's Biden/McAuliffe event stated that fully vaccinated attendees won't have to wear masks and those who are not will. They won't have to present covid negative tests, per McAuliffe's camp. https://t.co/XWb2c7O3TR — PolitiTweet.org

Quietly, Pres. Biden has done some donor relations maintenance in the virtual space in recent months. In May, he and DNC Chair Jaime Harrison held a private videoconference call to thank top donors, according to two people with knowledge of the gathering. https://t.co/acnuduu1rk — PolitiTweet.org

On the night when Biden won SC, Harpootlian grew concerned watching Biden shaking hands, since coronavirus was already spreading. “We need to get him out of there,” he recalled telling then-campaign chairman Steve Ricchetti. But Biden refused to stop. https://t.co/XWb2c7O3TR — PolitiTweet.org

But injecting Biden into state and local campaigns also carries risks. He has long shown a tendency to veer off script. And Biden's popularity, while steady, is not overwhelming, with many Republicans already turning against him. https://t.co/XWb2c7O3TR — PolitiTweet.org

Sean Sullivan @WaPoSean

McAuliffe had just won the nomination when he got a call from Biden. “Terry, I’m all in,” Biden told him. “What do you want?” “I need you to come in and, you know, help campaign,” replied McAuliffe. “I’m there,” Biden replied. https://t.co/XWb2c7O3TR — PolitiTweet.org

File it under differences between Presidents Obama and Biden. @SenatorMenendez didn’t exactly have a great relationship with 44 and was a vocal critic of his Cuba engagement. Overall, he sounds like he’s off to a better start on both measures w/46: https://t.co/NhYSwpLNQV https://t.co/4S6B4aTSER — PolitiTweet.org
