President Joe Biden returned to his birthplace in Pennsylvania, making a final campaign stop for Vice President Kamala Harris. During his speech in Scranton, Biden criticized former President Donald Trump and his supporters on policy issues, particularly focusing on tax cuts for the wealthy. He also made a comment about 'macho guys,' suggesting a desire to physically confront them.
Biden's unfiltered remarks have become more common in recent weeks, showcasing a departure from his usual political script. This includes a recent comment about racist remarks made at a Trump rally and a statement altered by White House press officials. Despite these instances, Biden has played a limited role in promoting Harris, his running mate.
Gender issues and partisan loyalties have been prominent in the campaign, with Trump emphasizing traditional gender roles to attract male voters, while Harris focuses on protecting abortion access and increasing government support for families.
Biden, who spent his early childhood in Scranton, spoke at a union hall he visited on Election Day in 2020. He urged supporters to remember their roots and the importance of voting for themselves, their families, and their communities.
The event drew about 200 enthusiastic supporters, with chants of support for Biden. The president emphasized the significance of the upcoming election and the need to stay connected to one's origins.
