Joe Biden and his wife Jill left their home in Wilmington, Delaware this morning to head to eastern Pennyslvania for a visit with the Ironworkers Local 401 in North Philadelphia.
Retired roofer, Norman Payne came to the event early, eager to see Joe speak. He said, “I hope to hear something different. The Republicans say nothing about the economy. We need a change. A big change.”
Talking to a small crowd of workers and their families, Joe spoke about the need for an administration that understands the value of maintaining and building our middle class. He spoke about creating jobs, and giving tax breaks to those who need them most.
Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter were also on hand. Tom Jacobs, vice president for the United Steel Workers Union, introduces this clip from Joe’s visit to the Ironworkers' union:
