Where will Joe Biden be on election night? Here's the venue where Kamala Harris will join him
While the entire nation is waiting with bated breath for the election day on November 3, they are also probably wondering where their favorite candidates are during the tense night. Turns out, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will be in Delaware.
On the day of the election, Biden will be in Wilmington, Delaware, and he plans to address the country from the Chase Center — the same location where he formally accepted his party's nomination in August 2020. On November 3, Biden will be joined by wife Jill and running mate Senator Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff.
The announcement was made on October 31 by Joe Biden's campaign saying, "On Tuesday, November 3, Joe Biden will address the nation on Election Night in Wilmington, Delaware and be joined by Jill Biden, Kamala Harris, and Doug Emhoff." The campaign said space at the venue is "extremely limited". Covid-19 protocols, including social distancing and the wearing of PPE, will also be enforced.
Wilmington also became the host city for Democratic National Convention 2020, in which Biden and Harris addressed the nation from the Chase Center. On Saturday, Delaware Online reported, "The stage being set up on Saturday afternoon looked larger than the one used during the DNC. Because of the unprecedented number of mail-in ballots, it's not clear if a winner will be announced on Nov. 3."
It was initially reported that President Donald Trump was holding his election night party at Trump International Hotel in Washington, but the plan was canceled due to Covid-19 protocols and POTUS will now hold a party at the White House instead.
