Pennsylvania Key To Biden Re-Election? He Thinks So.
Independence Hall, Philadelphia
“Mr. Biden is fond of using sites of historical significance to underscore speeches that he and his team see as important moments. He traveled to Independence Hall in Philadelphia before the midterm elections and to Gettysburg, Pa., during the 2020 presidential campaign.
His campaign views the events of Jan. 6 — when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in a violent culmination of his election denialism — as critical to understanding how the 2024 campaign will unfold. His team notes that Mr. Trump and Republicans have tried to rewrite the history of that day but argues that images of the Capitol riot remain seared in the minds of voters.”
The Rust Belt has come into focus in election politics like never before since Donald Trump broke through the blue fire wall in 2016. The region elevated Trump to the highest office in the land and elections in America will never be the same. President Biden is well acquainted with the region hailing from Scranton, very much a city very much in Middle America. He desperately needs Middle America to win re-election and that runs right through Pennsylvania, Michigan and Minnesota.
