Biden campaign manager @jomalleydillon is doing a live interview with Politico right now. Asked about suggestions that Biden organizers should be knocking doors in spite of the pandemic, she says door-knocking "doesn& #39;t really matter."
More from @jomalleydillon: "We spend so much time talking about tactics. But fundamentally, knocking on a door and not reaching anyone doesn& #39;t get you much except leaving a piece of left behind — you might as well send a piece of mail."
"We have over 2,500 staff across all of our battleground states directly engaging with voters, they& #39;re doing it over the phone, they& #39;re doing it via text, they& #39;re doing it online, they& #39;re meeting people where they are" and "not putting people in harm& #39;s way," @jomalleydillon adds.
O& #39;Malley Dillon& #39;s point here is that the campaign IS having these conversations with voters and that they do matter, but they& #39;re happening through tools like phone calls and texts — not on the doors during a pandemic when people don& #39;t want to answer an unexpected knock.
