Biden banks on Pennsylvania to frame 2020 ‘unity’ pitch
Former US Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday (May 18) put the focus on defeating President Donald Trump at a rally in Philadelphia telling the audience, "If the American people want a president to add to our division, to lead with a clenched fist, closed hand and a hard heart...they don't need me," adding, "They already have a president who does just that."
Since entering the race last month, Biden, age 76, has largely ignored the other 23 contenders in the Democratic field, instead training his fire on Republican Trump.
Trump, in turn, has regularly knocked Biden, making the 2020 presidential contest sometimes feel like a general election more than a year before the vote takes place.
Biden's outdoor rally in Philadelphia, where he has established his campaign headquarters, illustrates the importance of Pennsylvania to Democratic hopes next year. Trump narrowly won the state over Hillary Clinton in 2016.
After Biden leaves, Trump will hold an event of his own on Monday in the northeast part of the state.
