The events held by the former vice president in the "cornerstone" state of the presidential incentive in 2020 seem restrained at best • Yes Biden manages to bring supporters to his events, but not in the thousands like in Trump rallies • And meanwhile citizens are preparing for the uncertainty

As Trump moves from rally to rally, going through five different states, and campaigning until almost midnight, Biden decided to focus on the state of Pennsylvania yesterday (Sunday), and held two events in the state.
The first event was held at the Sharon Baptist Church of the Black Community, along with an organization designed to mobilize black voters.
Biden attended an event at the church while in a convoy of cars.
It is unclear if this is due to security constraints or if he wanted to broadcast that he is already president.
There was little communication, and entry to the church was also restricted to a pool of reporters.
But a lot of African Americans came.
One of the journalists is an Asian-American, Kylie, who is studying at the prestigious Penn State University.
She is studying journalism and came to film for the University Newsletter.
She says all the young people in her faculty are in favor of Biden.
According to her, it is because of the corona that "Trump is too divisive."
In Pennsylvania you can feel the rust in the air, very gray and rainy even in the metaphorical sense: it is a rainbow state and not for nothing it is impossible to assess how you will vote because in this state, the headstone state, the inhabitants do not like to be taken for granted.
Either way, they are preparing for the election and also for the uncertainty that follows, and here too, as in Washington and other parts of Philadelphia the windows are blocked with planks.
Indeed Biden manages to bring supporters to his events, but not in the thousands as in Trump rallies.
It is true that there is the corona restriction, but if Trump had organized such an event, the amounts that would have come, even if left out of the compound because of the restrictions, would have been much greater.
It's a very restrained support, but Biden hopes his restraint will deliver the goods.
