The Biden campaign may have peaked already. It's unclear how he'll compare to President Trump back on the campaign trail.

"As November draws closer, expect the Biden campaign to continue using the pandemic as a reason to reduce his visibility and liability, especially at the party convention, which will likely be sparsely populated compared to previous election cycles. Democrats could even try to avoid a live debate with Trump by citing the pandemic. This would then allow Biden to speak mostly with scripted comments and surrounded by his staff." (The Hill)

This interesting op-ed from The Hill suggests that Joe Biden has hit his 2020 campaign peak -- thanks to being mostly out of sight and off the campaign trail due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Now that he and President Trump will return to public events, it's likely that Biden may continue to struggle in-person with potential voters, as he's done since 2019. In contrast, President Trump enjoys his large-scale campaign rallies -- as do his supporters -- and those will re-start this weekend.

Keep watching this trend: now it's Michigan that may have violated state law in their quest to expand voting by mail.

"Michigan's former top elections official said that Democrats' decision to send unsolicited absentee ballot applications to nearly 8 million voters may violate state laws." (Washington Free Beacon)

Policy experts at the Heritage Foundation have explained that "automatically mailing a ballot to all registered voters is an open invitation to fraud and abuse." But that's exactly what the state of Michigan decided to do.

States continue to grapple with changes to voting procedures due to COVID-19, with some like Texas reining in widespread vote-by-mail and others, like California and Michigan, trying to expand it as much as they can.

Expanded voting by mail could dramatically change campaigns' get-out-the-vote operations -- and maybe even the election itself. That's why The Vote will continue to keep you informed on these stories.

President Obama will join Joe Biden next week for their first joint fundraiser of 2020.

"Former President Barack Obama will join presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for the first time in a joint virtual fundraiser. The fundraiser aims to draw in tens of thousands of small-donor offerings, according to Axios, which saw one of the invitations set to be sent to supporters. The event is set to be held on June 23." (Washington Examiner)

Joe Biden has welcomed a series of high-profile Democrats to join him for virtual fundraising events, including Hillary Clinton (who raised $2 million), Kamala Harris (who raised $3.5 million), and Elizabeth Warren (who raised $6 million).

Now President Obama will join Biden for a virtual fundraising event next Tuesday, June 23. The goal of the event is to bring in "tens of thousands" of donors, and it's likely it will succeed.

Trump interviews Trump: Donald Trump, Jr. will interview President Trump for a campaign video series on Thursday.

"President Trump will sit for an interview with his son, Donald Trump Jr., on Thursday night for his reelection campaign’s online show 'Triggered,' a source tells The Hill. The interview marks the first time the president will appear on one of the online shows, which have become a staple of his campaign’s media efforts since the coronavirus lockdown." (The Hill)

This spring, the Trump campaign launched its own TV series for the web, including a conservative alternative to The View called The Right View.

Now President Trump will join the campaign show line-up: his son, Donald Trump, Jr., will interview him on Thursday night for the campaign show Triggered. The show name shares a title with the book that Donald Trump, Jr. wrote last year.
