When President Joe Biden enters a voting booth in Delaware on Monday to cast his early ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris, the moment will be bittersweet. Biden, of course, once hoped to vote for himself, one last opportunity to check the box next to his own name after a half-century in the political arena. Instead, he is voting for his chosen successor — a moment of pride, to be sure, that is still coming earlier than he wanted it to. Instead of a big campaign event — as it would likely have been if he were still the candidate — his trip to a polling station in Delaware will be a low-key affair compared to the roiling presidential campaign that is unfolding without him. With eight days until Election Day, the president’s schedule this week doesn’t reflect a surrogate in high demand. After suggesting in September he would be on the road regularly for Harris in the final months, Biden has been largely absent from the campaign trail in the closing stretch. His union event in Pittsburgh over the weekend provided an outlet to attack Donald Trump and boost Harris — but the outing wasn’t heavily promoted by the Harris campaign, unlike higher-profile rallies with the Obamas.
