>> perhaps that's why having biden here in scranton is so important for clinton's case in pennsylvania. >> they deserve someone who not only understands them. they deserve someone who is with them, and they deserve someone who is made of the same stuff. that's hillary clinton. that's who she is. ? biden went after her opponent donald trump, particularly on issues of national security. >> he doesn't seem to want to learn it. he doesn't seem to think it matters. people say he lacks the temperament. i -- i would feel better if that's all he lacked. on every issue that matters most to our security donald trump has no clue what it takes to lead this great country. >> reporter: after the rally, the vice president stopped to listen to our question about trump's comments on the election in pennsylvania. >> hillary clinton could only win if she sheets. >> reporter: he brushed it aside

and as he greeted the caught we caught him for one more question. how does it feel to be back in pennsylvania campaigning? >> you're going to see a lot of me. >> reporter: now from the entrance music today to the fact that joe biden spoke second it was clear that he was the honored guest here today. now, i checked with the clinton campaign to see if there are any other events scheduled with him. not at this point, but as you just heard he says we will be seeing him again. live in scranton. i'm lauren mayk, nbc 10 news. >> thank you so much. >> clinton continues her push through pennsylvania tomorrow. she heads from scranton to philadelphia for a voter registration event. that will be held in west philadelphia high school. on the republican side, donald trump laid out his plan to fight terrorism during a speech in youngstown, ohio. his first step would be a temporary halt in immigration from dangerous regions. world. trump says he would use questionnaires, social media and

shift is happening in virginia and north carolina right here and if you move further south that you'll see that actually florida is going the same way. went from leaning democrat to a tossup. the other significant point to make note of, the july map, with clinton, had 255 electoral votes, but this latest map actually gives her 288 which, of course, is higher than that magic number of 270 electoral votes needed to win in november. if you're still trying to make your presidential pick, check out our candidate match quiz on the nbc 10 app and count on nbc 10 for a complete decision 2016 coverage. we have new details in the perjury trial against pennsylvania attorney general kathleen kane. now on jury watch. in closing arguments this morning, prosecutors told jurors that kane abused her power when she leaked secret criminal files to get revenge on a colleague.
