Pennsylvania is expected to be one of the most closely contested states in this fall’s election, and with his opponent sidelined, President Joe Biden is barnstorming it with a three-stop tour this week.
Biden will campaign first in Scranton, the city where he was born and spent his earliest years, followed by a Wednesday appearance in Pittsburgh and two rallies Thursday in Philadelphia. All will contrast Biden’s tax plans with those of former President Donald Trump.
“Starting tomorrow in Scranton, the day after tax day, the president will outline how Trump’s tax plan is a handout to the rich and leads the middle class holding the bag,” Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler said on a call with reporters previewing the president’s remarks.
The tour comes as Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, is temporarily sidelined with a trial in Manhattan, leaving him away from the campaign trail.
