The Bidens continue to play to small crowds.
Jill Biden was in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday, where she spoke to tens of people at the Waterbean Coffee shop.
Watch:

The former second lady spoke from a music stand without a microphone.
US News reporter Claire Hansen tried to put a positive spin on the meager turnout, claiming it was “standing room only” in the tiny venue:

Biden tweeted about the appearance:
This election is about community, it’s about you. It’s about the beautiful things we can and will do together. Thank you, #Charlotte, for joining me today —with your help, @joebiden will lead a ticket that candidates can run with—not from. pic.twitter.com/CrYWiqPrzS

“This election is about community,” she wrote.
It’s not the first small “community” she’s addressed.
Fox 10 captured Biden playing to a very small crowd in the all-important state of New Hampshire earlier this month:

Noting Joe is off today, reporter Mike Pache added, “His wife is campaigning at a home with about 10 people in New Hampshire.”
Despite the intimate audience, Biden used a podium in the poorly lit room:

It was a similar scene when Jill was making a last minute appeal in Iowa.
The First Lady wannabe played to a handful of voters at the Blazing Saddle in Des Moines in January:

Speaking from a podium positioned next to a pool table, Biden warned the tiny audience that President Trump would be visiting the following day.
“He ain’t coming here,” a man responded, prompting a smattering of laughs from the small gathering.
She claimed Trump would “brag” about “packing the courts with judges” as the door behind her opened and locals arrived for a drink.
“He’ll mock and deride people who believe in equality,” she read from her speech.
“This is my first time at a gay bar!” she exclaimed at the beginning of her appearance.
