How lockdown has made small US state the base for Joe Biden’s White House bid

Delaware

Joe Biden’s candidacy and lockdown-enforced curbs on traditional campaigning have put the small state of Delaware centre stage in the former vice-president’s bid to wrest the keys to the White House from President Donald Trump.

Although it only has three votes in the electoral college and it takes only a little more than an hour and a half to drive through it from Pennsylvania to Maryland, the state has been given a starring role with Mr Biden forced to conduct much of his campaign from his home.
