Here’s what you need to know about Joe Biden’s Florida drive-in rallies on Thursday
Maybe a late night for Joe Biden, Michael Binder says.

Bring your car horn.

Joe Biden will visit Florida on Thursday as he looks for his ticket back into the White House. Here’s what you need to know about the visit.

Where

The former Vice President will hold a drive-in rally in Broward County. Barack Obama held a similar event in neighboring Miami-Dade on the FIU campus.

Biden will rocket to Tampa for a similar event.

When

Biden’s Broward rally is tentatively timed for 1:30 p.m. on Thursday. He should be in Tampa by 6:30 p.m. for the start of that event.

No bandstands?

The limitations of a drive-up event will certainly offer different optics for the event than what will take place the same day in Tampa at Raymond James Stadium. There, President Donald Trump will hold a rival event at 1:30 p.m. inside the sporting venue, which normally has a capacity of about 66,000, though that’s without social distancing and other pandemic-related measures.

Honk if you’re hungry for change

The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris campaign created a signature event for 2020. Applause-worthy lines result in a chorus of car horns instead of cheers and applause. A Biden rally in Ohio recently attracted about 30 cars filled with supporters. That’s probably a total number dwarfed by a couple of rows of seats at a MAGA rally, but it’s a 2020 thing. This also reinforces that even as Biden does in-person events, he’s trying to keep public health and safety top of mind.

    Hey Folks, riots and looting in the streets in liberal cities for over 4 MONTHS now are always without social distancing and other pandemic-related measures. Officers have gotten infected as a result of thugs screaming and spitting in their faces. The huge gathering at the Washington Mall to celebrate MLK one day after the RNC ended was another super spreader. The real woke folks are well aware of the hypocrisy by the Left. The Left lies, denies, twists facts and truth, covers up and WE see clearly what’s going on.

    Where is the rally in Broward County being held and what do you need to do if you want to go? I checked Joe’s site and there is no information on it about the rally.

    There is absolutely NOTHING on the site you directed us to that says where in Broward County this drive in rally is. It’s definitely NOT a the only drive in theatre there. I called the dem headquarters here in Broward and they said it’s invitation only. Wtf.

    The Exact Reason why this by invitation only and not being made public is to avoid confrontations with MAGA idiots. Go to your own rally’s and leave us alone to support in peace. I know where it is, NOT TELLING YOU .

    They don’t want people to know where the Biden rally is. I swear it is a mystery. I can’t find the information anywhere. I’m a Trump supporter, but, I have some downtime today and was curious to see what he had to say.

    Biden has been hiding in his basement and now his rallies are also hidden. Typical coward dems who are scared of their own shadow.
