Biden's hometown of Scranton transformed him. The question now is if he can transform Scranton as he works to help pass a massive social spending and climate bill through Congress.

President Joe Biden greets people after speaking about his infrastructure plan and domestic agenda in Scranton, Pa. on Wednesday. A roadway in town was renamed "Biden Street" just before his visit. | Susan Walsh/AP PhotoSCRANTON, Pa. — It was just before dusk.

Scranton was an obvious backdrop, tailor-made to provoke a sense of working class America. Biden had crafted his 2020 presidential campaign around these ideas too, a Robinhood-themed agenda, minus the actual thievery. It was Scranton vs. Park Avenue—the place of his birth held up as the very symbol of the plight of the average family against the extravagances of the wealthy.

Biden showed no signs of concern as he spoke. His party is still inching toward a deal on a multi-trillion Build Back Better domestic spending plan that could end up funding everything from parental leave to child and elderly care. “I don’t doubt that one bit, and I think [it's] our fault. We oversold it and underperformed for too long,” DurbinSen. Dick Durbin speaks to reporters at the Capitol on Oct. 7. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images

Biden’s last trip to Scranton had been on Election Day, when he stopped at his childhood home and signed a wall there. "From this house to the White House with the grace of God,” he wrote.

Is the most important part of the bill that it's massive? What about all the things it does?

Watching Biden yesterday was pathetic. He reminded me of some relatives I knew with dementia who could only remember vague things from the past and didn't have a clue as to what was happening around them. Not only is it sad, it is dangerous for this country. He is not well.

2 for sure

Biden concerned over Chinese hypersonic missilesU.S. President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he is concerned about Chinese hypersonic missiles, days after a media report that Beijing had tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic glide weapon. Leave China alone and you won't have anything to worry about, the last time China invaded anyone was in 79, strangely enough that's about the same number the US 'has' invaded other countries! Stop looking for wars, we've had enough! What does Xi feel ? The Chinese hypersonic missiles miss their target by 24 miles. How concerned should we be.
