JOE BIDEN (SORT OF) ADDRESSES HUNTER BIDEN ACCUSATION. The Democratic presidential nominee isn’t campaigning in person this week — an odd choice in the final days of a hard-fought campaign. But Joe Biden did do a video interview Wednesday with a Wisconsin television station, WISN in Milwaukee.
It was brief, but Biden managed to discuss the coronavirus pandemic and also plans for tonight’s final debate with President Trump.
