Leading Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden disappeared Memorial Day weekend after taking it easy on the campaign trail the past ten days, having held only one rally and three fundraisers. The 76-year-old former vice president appears to be living up to President Trump’s “sleepy” nickname for him.
Biden held a rally in Phildalephia on May 18, headlined a pair of fundraisers last Monday and Tuesday in Florida and a fundraiser in Nashville also last Monday.
The Biden campaign site shows no scheduled rallies.
The campaign provided a terse “Joe Biden has no public events scheduled,” statement to media.
Biden’s campaign posted a Memorial Day tweet Monday but did not mention Biden’s absence, “Every #MemorialDay, Jill and I remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our nation. Our troops are the heart, soul, & spine of America—may we never fail to honor the memory of those who have fallen and ensure their spirit lives on in both our words and deeds.”

While Biden was MIA Memorial Day weekend, Hillary Clinton marched in the News Castle Memorial Day Parade in Chappaqua, New York on Monday.

Apparently Biden is resting up for a town hall set for Tuesday in Houston with the American Federation of Teachers.
