According to Deadline, the Biden campaign has multiple fundraisers this week, including a Tuesday event with actor Tom Hanks.

The "Greyhound" star then reportedly asked Biden why wearing masks was such an issue.
“This appeal to this macho notion, ‘I’m not wearing a mask,’” Biden responded, reported Deadline. “This is just the most irrational, illogical and egotistical exercise I’ve ever seen a president enter into.”
The second night of the Democratic National Convention kicks off at 9 p.m. EST and will feature former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, Sen. Chuck Schumer, former Secretary of State John Kerry, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, former President Bill Clinton, and Biden's wife, Jill Biden, as speakers.
