On Day 17, Joe Biden Read From A Script For His \u2018Phone Call With An Ordinary American\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n

In their first \u201cWeekly Conversation,\u201d the Biden team opted for a tightly-edited, piano-backed\u00a0montage\u00a0depicting a reconstructed phone call between Biden and an ordinary American mom, \u201cMichele from California,\u201d who was laid off because of the pandemic and had written to the president.<\/p>\n

On the call, Biden pitches his \u201cAmerican Rescue Plan\u201d legislation to a woman who has reportedly been out of work since July, and Michele replies: \u201cWe\u2019re so glad that we have you focusing on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump retired the rote, scripted, Saturday weekly address in favor of more casual video messages, often filmed outdoors, where he spoke directly to the camera in his own style without notes.<\/p>\n
