Biden Rejects Accusations of Irrelevancy: Heads to Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Prove Doubters WrongSimon Kent 29 Oct 2024
Departing President Joe Biden on Monday rejected allegations he has been ignored and abandoned by Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail, confidently asserting he was bound for his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, to prove the doubters wrong.
AP reports Biden, in an exchange with reporters, played down the fact he hasn’t campaigned side-by-side with Harris since their joint Labor Day campaign appearance in Pittsburgh and he’s held few public campaign appearances with Democrats in the competitive races that could turn the voting tide.
“I’ve done a lot of surrogate stuff, and the fact of the matter is that I’ve also had to continue to be president at the same time,” the octogenarian told media representatives after casting his early vote on Monday in his home state of Delaware.
Biden maintained he and Harris still “talk all the time.” He added he has also made several visits to battleground states in his official capacity in recent months, and he plans to do more campaigning in the days ahead in Pennsylvania, including his childhood hometown of Scranton (population 75,682).
