Today: Former Vice President Joe Biden is holding his first 2020 campaign rally at a Pennsylvania union hall. Follow hookjan as she covers Biden's kickoff.

Former Vice President Joe Biden leaves a rally organized by union members to support Stop and Shop employees on strike in Massachusetts on April 18. Biden was scheduled to open his campaign Monday with a rally at a union hall in Pittsburgh.

The Scranton-born Biden is leaning hard into his Pennsylvania roots. Trump won the state in an upset by just 44,292 votes in 2016 and has hoped to win favor with the state’s beleaguered steel industry by slapping tariffs on imports. Biden argues to Democrats that he provides their strongest shot here and in two other crucial industrial states — Wisconsin and Michigan.

Trump also raised a central question of whether Biden’s strong support among union leaders will translate into broad backing from rank-and-file workers. “A lot of people I work with are Trump supporters,” Vesco said. “They are tired of the same old, same old when it comes to Democrats. They need to get back to focusing on people and jobs, not bashing Trump,” he said.unions are being very cautious

“This isn’t about a demographic,” John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who is advising Biden, said in an interview. “It is about a bigger vision: Everyone needs economic opportunity. Everyone needs the opportunity to succeed and get the benefits of hard work.”

The only ones complaining and not working are those who choose to protest the President every day. Economy is great, jobs are on the rise. Imagine how much better it would be if Democrats were helping.

No BHO and you decided not to represent America! You supported Russia 🇷🇺. And Iran . When you drew a line in the sand there you divided our country.

Ur' da PaRaDiGm...CLoWn CaR...

Remember joebiden to discuss a few ways u might do this, not just a discovery of what is an open 'hole' in current works.

Oh please Biden another 4 years of socialism Obama style, he has no idea of foreign diplomacy, no ideas on economic issues, with several brilliant women why focus on Biden?

Oh yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ChinaJoe

Old Sleepy Joe.....hilarious. If this is the best the DNC has to offer, Trump is a shoe in for 2020.

How does Joe grab ya?

Except after 8 yrs of Dem Govt control policies, the wealth inequality got worse

creepyjoe

His 77yr old, in the Senate for 40yrs ass should have a seat. Simone Sanders should put a bug in his ear, Trump is not the only president who decided not to represent the entire country. This statement is worse then ' bring back the soul of America', America never had a soul.

Um, all but one apparently 🙋‍♂️ I have to imagine there are 200 MILLION+ who might disagree with him. This is the kind of rhetoric that gets extremists, BOTH SIDES, elected in the first place, and it's got to stop (please Lord, make it stop already).

As a foreigner, I don't think you could be a better president than Trump.

Copycat won't win

Trump is horrible! How dare he free the Dems’ army of government hand out slaves with jobs? How dare he bolster the economy so that retirees can live more comfortably? He’s horrible i tell you!

What in the Hell is he talking about? Sleepy Joe was the VP for 8 years where O'Bama eliminated The Middle Class Donald J Trump is rebuilding it!

The benefit of positive thinking is everything
