SCRANTON, Pa. — Vice President Joe Biden plays the part of Rust Belt ambassador. Elizabeth Warren is the party unifier who speaks to swing state liberals. President Barack Obama stars as the motivator of the base, and contraster-in-chief.

Biden, who takes the stage here alongside Clinton on Friday morning before headlining a fundraiser for her in the afternoon, will follow on the heels of Obama’s star turn in Charlotte Wednesday.
