Why Joe Biden Didn’t Go To Kenosha — All You Need To Know About The State of The Race

After the events in Kenosha last week, there was only one possible topic – especially in light of the rampant media speculation that internal Biden polls showed the violence in Kenosha and elsewhere was hurting Biden’s campaign badly, and his substantial mid-summer lead going into the DNC Telethon had almost completely vanished.

But, for reasons that have not been adequately explained, the campaign announced that Biden would go to Pittsburgh — to give a speech with the benefit of a teleprompter from behind a lecturn in a nearly empty warehouse of a rehabilitated steel manufacturing plant.

Sure, Pennsylvania is a swing state that Biden almost certainly cannot afford to lose if he hopes to win 270 electoral votes.  And Western Pennsylvania is friendlier to Trump, whereas Eastern Pennsylvania is more Democrat territory, so there might be more votes to be gained there.  But why not go to Milwaukee?  That is a friendly venue — it was supposed to be the location of the DNC Convention.   Why not go to Chicago?  Kenosha lies right in between Milwaukee and Chicago.
