Biden campaign lays out debate week strategy in new memo

The Biden campaign and its allies plan to hold 1,600 events and run a new slate of TV and digital advertisements ahead of Thursday’s presidential debate, which they called “one of the first moments … where a larger slice of the American electorate” will tune in to the campaign, according to a new memo obtained first by NBC News.

The events will include a nationwide mobilization of surrogates, events targeting groups the campaign sees as crucial to its coalition, like members of the LGBTQ community and college students, and 300 debate night watch parties.
