Joe Biden campaigns by train

Joe Biden was known as "the Senator from Amtrak" from his commuting by Amtrak train from his Delaware home to DC each day. He has recently campaigned from a chartered Amtrak train in OH and PA.

From US News:

The former vice president, who estimates he's logged more than 2.1 million miles riding the rails in his lifetime, added seven more hours to that total Wednesday as his campaign chartered a nine-car private train to tour parts of eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania — key areas to pick up votes if he wants to flip the states from red to blue in November.

Biden spent much of the trip inside a roomy, window-lined “conversation car" chatting with supporters he had picked up at stops along the way. He and his wife, Jill, also had their own all-glass space at the back of the train known as the “president's car.” It's an appropriate name considering the Democrat's task at hand: to defeat President Donald Trump in November.

Meanwhile, Trump is no longer flying to campaign events on Virus-1.

With a highway-exit sign saying "Exit 2020. Welcome to the Radical Left. Continue left ahead." Near a train with Bernie Sanders as the driver and passengers Ilhan Omar, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey(?), Andrew Cuomo, Ayanna Pressley, and Adam Schiff.

Rather mixed metaphors. A highway-exit sign would be more suitable for a bus than a train. I like this:
