As the novel coronavirus continues to spread in the United States, politicians are increasingly turning to technology to get their message out to voters. Public health guidelines for reducing the spread have led to changes in the political campaigns of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. Health officials have appealed to Americans to limit face-to-face contact with others. They support calls for social distancing, keeping space between yourself and other people outside your home. With social distancing rules in effect, the presidential election campaigns were faced with an unusual situation. They were no longer able to send out organizers and volunteers to connect with likely voters face-to-face. It has also not been possible for candidates to hold events that can raise millions of dollars for their campaigns.
