PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS VISITING TWO SWING STATES AS MIDTERM ELECTIONS APPROACH

  • 05/09/2022

President Joe Biden is making his third trip to Pennsylvania in less than a week, returning just two days after his predecessor, Donald Trump, held his own rally there, highlighting the importance of the battleground state to both parties as Labor Day kicks off a nine-week sprint to crucial midterm elections.

Trump spoke in Wilkes-Barre, near Scranton, where Biden was born, on Saturday night. Last week, the president visited Wilkes-Barre to discuss increased police funding, to condemn GOP criticism of the FBI following the raid on Trump's Florida estate, and to argue that new, bipartisan gun safety measures can help reduce violent crime.

 Two days after that, Biden went to Independence Hall in Philadelphia for a prime-time address denouncing the "extremism" of Trump's fiercest supporters. On Monday, he's attending Labor Day festivities in Milwaukee, in another key swing state, Wisconsin, before traveling to Pittsburgh for that city's parade.
