Fox reported earlier that there was about 600 people there..
@mystery-ak "Former Vice President Joe Biden, jumping into the 2020 presidential race as the apparent front-runner, flashed his political calling card Monday with a kickoff rally at a Pennsylvania union hall that underscored his claim to be the candidate best equipped to win over blue-collar workers in crucial states that gave Donald Trump his victory in 2016."
More than 600 people, including union firefighters, steelworkers and Teamsters, filled the room, according to a Biden aide, citing a fire department estimate."
One of the political yells was, "Truth Not Lies".
Biden has this speech problem:
He begins a sentence, abandons that sentence, then starts another sentence and finishes it.
What he is doing is saying those first words while thinking (those are throw away words while he thinks), then he begins another sentence and finishes it. He did this with almost every sentence speaking about a new subject; I was watching/listening to find out how often it happened.
He was calm and collected - no yelling but firm in his wording. I would say the group showed respect for him; they like Joe. Joe is from Penn. so that matters. How he will be received in Iowa and New Hampshire will tell us if he is going to be able to hang in longer.
