On Sunday, hours before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned against any gatherings of 50 people or more, a measure designed to slow the spread of the coronavirus, President Donald Trump signed an email to his millions of supporters.The email was not referring to the pandemic. It was about Sunday’s Democratic presidential debate.
But the normal elements of the campaign have been frozen indefinitely: Rallies have been canceled, primaries postponed, fundraisers shelved, door-knocking deferred. The Biden and Sanders campaigns have addressed the coronavirus more often and directly than Trump in their emails to supporters, and both continued to solicit contributions as the crisis has deepened, though Sanders stopped on Wednesday as he reassessed his candidacy.
“You’ll never hear it from the Lamestream media and their Democratic Partners, but America is WINNING like never before,” read a campaign email last Friday, the same day that schools were closed, sporting events postponed and Trump himself declared a national emergency. The No. 2 Republican in the Senate, John Cornyn of Texas, who is up for reelection this year and facing a Democratic challenge, announced he was “suspending all campaign-related activities” on Tuesday. But many others continued to ask for donations and search for new supporters, including through advertising on Facebook.
In an email on Tuesday, Biden wrote that “in keeping with the latest guidance from the CDC, I am emailing you from home in Wilmington.” He both asked for money and thanked poll workers in Florida, Illinois and Arizona who had spent the day trying “to clean and disinfect voting booths.” “Even during crises, democracy presses on,” read an earlier Biden campaign message.
The Trump campaign declined to comment on its online messaging. But Republicans who work with the campaign said that those behind the messages generally refuse to let political custom or niceties dictate their behavior, regardless of blowback. In a statement last week about the 2020 campaign migrating increasingly online, Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager, claimed a “huge advantage” over the Democrats.
