Biden’s campaign travels in 2008 and in Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign were concentrated in the Rust Belt and other areas with large populations of working-class white voters.

Biden says: “He’s trying to tell us he cares about the middle class?” “No matter where you were raised, how could there be pleasure in division and you’re fired?”
“I believe a different future – and something we can try to reach an agreement on, rather than watch each other through the crosshairs – is ahead for us” Vucic said. “It’s such a bunch of malarkey”. “By pointing out that no Muslim is welcome in the west”, Biden said. The two share Scranton roots, which made this former coal town a natural site for their joint appearance. For her, it’s the place where her grandfather worked in a lace mill, where she and her brothers were christened, where the family spent summers on nearby Lake Winola where she learned to swim and to shoot a gun.
Biden said he and Vucic discussed “the importance of moving forward” with ongoing European Union-brokered talks to normalise relations between Serbia and Kosovo, which were at war in the late 1990s.
“What bothers me the most about Donald Trump is his cynicism is unbounded”, Biden said about the NY billionaire. Mr. Trump’s path to the White House depends on winning big margins among white, working-class supporters to offset a major Democratic demographic advantage among nonwhites, especially in states like OH and Pennsylvania.
Hundreds of Serbian ultra-nationalists protested on Tuesday against U.S. Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Belgrade by chanting their support for the man he says is making the United States less safe – Donald Trump.
Pennsylvania has not gone for a Republican presidential candidate since the 1988 election. “I have been in the room with her as we jointly have with the president’s leadership, sent some of these killers to the gates of hell”, Biden said.
However Clinton’s campaign has taken up the issue. Biden then brought up his late son, former DE attorney general Beau Biden, who served in Iraq.
But on Clinton’s behalf, he gave a determined performance Monday. He zeroed in on Trump’s statement last week that President Barack Obama founded Islamic State, which the Republican has said was meant to be sarcastic.
She acknowledged that many people in the audience might have friends considering voting for the Republican, but offered this advice.
But aides say Biden’s role will still be crucial.
Biden had been an outspoken critic of the Serbian state in the 1990s and a strong supporter of intervention in the region.

Biden will spend considerable time in the coming weeks in Pennsylvania, Ohio and MI, as well as Florida. Senior aides to the vice president are in regular contact with their counterparts at Clinton’s Brooklyn, N.Y., campaign headquarters, and the vice president himself has personally committed to Clinton to do anything she asks of him. She has tried to make the case that working-class voters would fare better under her economic policies than Trump’s and that her opponent would inject danger into an already unstable world. “This is the biggest load of bull I’ve ever heard”, Clinton said, explaining that the emails contained information about phone calls that shouldn’t have been made public.
