Animal Crossing: Biden campaign offers virtual yard signs in Nintendo game

Move is part of effort to make virtual inroads with voters at a time when many traditional campaign events are considered unsafe

Lorilei Storm, an American who has lived in Ireland for the last decade, has signs supporting Joe Biden all over her front yard - not in front of her Dublin flat, however, but the one surrounding her home in the wildly popular Nintendo game Animal Crossing.

Campaign signs aren't as much of a thing here, so I was really excited to find them in the game - I put up as many as I could," Storm said.
