(Bloomberg) -- Joe Biden said Tuesday he hopes to resume in-person events after spending more than two months campaigning virtually from his Delaware home.
Biden said he is following his state's stay-at-home orders, but he hopes to resume a public schedule once that is lifted.
“I hope to be able to do more,” he said in a CNN interview.
Biden and his wife, wearing masks, made their first public appearance on Monday, when they laid a wreath at a veterans memorial in New Castle, Delaware. President Donald Trump, who has refused to wear a mask despite Centers for Disease Control guidelines, mocked Biden's mask on social media.
“He's a fool,” Biden said of the president. “An absolute fool to talk that way.”
The presumptive Democratic nominee assailed Trump's handling of the pandemic and said his refusal to wear a mask was “stoking deaths.”
Biden also apologized again for his remark on Friday when he said on a radio show that black voters who were considering not supporting him “ain't black.”
“I shouldn't have been such a wise guy,” he said, vowing to work hard to win the support of black voters.
