Presumptive Democratic Nominee Joe Biden made his first public appearance in two months on Memorial Day. Biden, along with his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, laid a wreath at a veterans memorial in Delaware. Both were wearing face masks.

Biden’s appearance was unannounced so there was no crowd to greet him. He was accompanied by a full complement of secret service agents.

The New York Times writes:

“The Bidens’ late son, Beau Biden, served in the Iraq war. He died of brain cancer five years ago this week.

“The visit comes as some Democrats, including some close allies, have grown impatient to see Mr. Biden leave his Wilmington, Del., home and find ways to connect publicly, even in the era of social distancing. Mr. Biden’s campaign did not immediately have a comment when asked whether his Memorial Day outing signaled the beginning of more public appearances.“
