PHILADELPHIA — Joe Biden loves a union crowd, and about 2,000 union workers loved him back Saturday at a Philadelphia rally to kick off his reelection campaign.
Biden, 80, is the oldest president in American history and faces the challenge of fending off concerns about his age and drooping approval ratings to reassemble the coalition that narrowly delivered him the White House in 2020.
The president picked Philadelphia and a friendly union crowd at the Convention Center for the first large scale campaign rally, which came a day after AFL-CIO, the nation’s largest union, and 17 others endorsed his campaign. And Pennsylvanians can expect to see a lot more of Biden between now and next November, as he’s sure to continue focusing on the key swing state.
