Not to be celebrated without "U-S-A! U-S-A!" chants, the Women For Trump bus stopped at the Oudenhoven farm in De Pere to campaign for President Donald Trump's re-election at the same time that Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin was co-hosting a virtual round-table on behalf of Biden for President.
"This is our first time back on the road since COVID," Pam Bondi, Florida' former Attorney General and current co-chair for Women for Trump said. "Everyone's respecting social distancing, and we're wearing masks when we're asked to, and being just really careful and getting to meet all the great people. It's just been a great experience."
Before returning to rallies and bus tours, President Trump' re-election campaign was managing daily online content that Bondi cites as having over one million viewers every episode.
"It's nice to be out meeting people and meeting these nice families face to face," Bondi said of returning to in-person campaigning. "So we're starting that up again slowly and we're gonna continue with the virtual part of the campaign as well."
On the other side of the aisle, Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin continues to campaign virtually for former Vie President Joe Biden.
"Before the pandemic hit, I was in communication with the Vice President about how important it is to show up, and now we have to shop up virtually."
Senator Baldwin has been a part of multiple town halls held by video conference, which she says are "vital to the communication" ongoing ahead of Election Day.
In addition to platforms like Zoom, Senator Baldwin feels that digital means have provided new connections between campaigns and voters.
"I would also say we're finding texting to be quite effective as as call to action," Senator Baldwin said.
Video conferencing has provided Democrats the opportunity to gather "like-minded folks that would be hard to actually aggregate in person, but to do so virtually is easier," Senator Baldwin said. "I think in some ways, the reach has expanded considerably."
