The Biden campaign and its allies have a plan for the first scheduled debate against Donald Trump — set for Thursday, June 27 at 9 pm EST. Along with running a new slate of TV and digital advertisements which they called “one of the first moments … where a larger slice of the American electorate” will tune into the campaign, they will also hold 1,600 events, according to a new memo first obtained by NBC News.
In an effort to mobilize surrogates, events will target voter groups the campaign views as important to its alliance. This includes college students, members of the LGBTQ community, and 300 debate night watch parties. Some of these watch parties will be hosted by social media content creators whom the campaign will grant special access to a place usually reserved for credentialed media, the post-debate spin room.
