Those are all dark & sterile.

These are the Getty images of Biden today that we have available to us per our contract with them — there are one or 2 here that are emotional and could work:

There was 1 photo available for reuse on Google where Biden has some emotion that would fit, but it was from when Obama was giving him the congressional medal.  Probably not going to work there.

McCain is dead, Biden was his friend for four decades. What do you see when you see the images? "McCain & Biden Spent The Afternoon Speaking About Tax De-Regulation In The Tractor Industry" is what I see... (speaking candidly)

The Trump post has more potential. It's also more timely.

Biden will run medium. Trump will run medium high.
