The Democratic nominee is sticking to his strategy: Keep a low profile, and let Trump light himself on fire.

"If calling a “lid" enters the mainstream American lexicon, this will be the week it all started.
Joe Biden called a lid — the arcane term reporters use when a politician is done traveling for the day — at 1:02 p.m. Friday; 9:20 a.m. Thursday; 9:22 a.m. Tuesday and 8:34 a.m. Saturday. Biden’s early turn-ins provoked the Twitter set, professionally nervous Democrats (OK, bedwetters) and, notably, Donald Trump to scratch their heads or rain down ridicule
“I’m working my ass off,” said Trump, whose own weekend golf outings and TV obsession are mocked endlessly by liberals. “I'm in Ohio. I'm in Texas. I'm in Florida. I’m in Michigan. I'm in Wisconsin."
"Hey champ, if I lose to a guy — that’s like you losing to a fighter that, you know, hasn’t worked out in the last six months. This guy never goes out! It’s terrible, huh?" Trump asked, reviving his "low-energy" critiques of Biden. "You better make sure I win. I’m gonna be very embarrassed, I lost to a guy that didn’t campaign!"
A top Democratic pollster agreed with Biden’s campaign, but with a more brutal assessment of the candidate. The person pointed to his penchant for gaffes and rambling stories as part of the strategy for keeping Biden bottled up.
“The fact is a cardboard cutout could beat Trump. But Biden could lose to him,” the pollster said. “There’s no win in Biden being out on the trail the way Trump wants. The Biden campaign has been smart about that.”"
