President Joe Biden is scheduled to deliver a speech tonight in Philadelphia, where he will advocate for the election of Vice President Kamala Harris. The event will take place at a union banquet hall during an autumn fundraising dinner for the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee. This return to Pennsylvania holds significance for Biden, given his longstanding connections to the state.
This appearance by President Biden represents a departure from his recent focus on official federal projects during his travels to battleground states. The upcoming speech serves as a rare campaign-style event for the President, who has been actively involved in overseeing the federal response to recent hurricanes in the southeast.
Meanwhile, First Lady Jill Biden is also engaging in efforts to support Vice President Harris. She is hosting her own events in the Philadelphia area on Tuesday evening, with stops planned in Chester County and Montgomery County.
