Biden courts swing voters in Pennsylvania while Trump rallies at the White House

Source: Philadelphia Inquirer

Joe Biden traveled Saturday to a union hall in Erie, where he pledged to fight for working-class Americans and rebuild the economy from the devastation of the coronavirus pandemic.

“America deserves a president who understands what people are going through,” Biden said. “You’re facing real challenges right now, and the last thing you need is a president who exacerbates them.”

Biden’s trip to Erie was his latest swing through parts of Pennsylvania that shunned Democrats four years ago, while President Donald Trump campaigned from the White House — where he remained after contracting COVID-19 himself.

Biden made an explicit pitch to union workers, many of whom abandoned long-standing ties to the Democratic Party in backing Trump. “There’s going to be such a race for job creation for unions, you’re not going to believe it,” Biden said. “The only power we have is union power. You’re the guys who keep the barbarians on the other side of the gate from taking everything."

Using public housing in the service of a political candidate is illegal. I hope the campaign paid a $1 million location feel because if I were filming for 20 minutes at that location the fee would be astronomical.

That’s why filmmakers spend millions to construct their own White House when filming a movIe set in the U.S. White House.

Why does Orange Cheeto get such a good deal on location costs when a businessman like me must pay enormous costs, if the location is available at all.
