but the guy who actually connects with working people in this country is not fake scranton joe.s real president donald trump. because they know -- [applause] because they know that he has their best interests at heart. they know that when he was president for four years, groceries and gas and energy and housing were actually affordable to a normal person in this country and after four years of the biden administration, the basic trappings of a good middle class life have become less and less attainable. in my home state of ohio, the average ohio family is about $10,000 poorer than they were four years ago. and of course ronald reagan famously asked in a great debate, i think it was jimmy carter, he said, are you better off -- he asked the american people in a debate with jimmy carter, are you better off than you were four years ago? i wasn't alive when he asked that question but i know millions of ohio families who would answer that question with a resounding no. and if you asked the opposite question, were you better off in 2019, in 2020, than you were in 2016? those same exact

mar-a-lago or scranton. the by the economic agenda is about main street, not wall street. it's about rebuilding our economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down. that means ending the old trickle-down economics and investing in all americans. that's what joe biden has been doing, and that's what this chapter outlines. when president by and took office, the economy was reeling as we were still beating with a global pandemic. he turned it around with historic legislation investing in infrastructure, our industry, our people, and our future. so far over 57,000 infrastructure projects have been announced, new roads, bridges, ports, airports, water systems, high-speed internet to close the digital divide, and every part of our country. also this president led transformative investment in manufacturing, supply chains, and also a key industries of the future. he is create hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs, and president biden is also making sure that american union workers get more than their fair share as we rebuild our economy. and all, the biden agen

this is a scranton jail, iam here in pennsylvania, and scranton is known as being gritty and resilientjoe. so thejoe biden i know, i was in a phone call with him on monday with a small group of donors. i thought i was speaking with maryland governor weighs more but the presidentjoined the line. there was definitely a surprise, and he answered our questions, and he definitely gave us a robust performance. but i do understand there are definitely serious concerns that the rest of the campaign is going to be like biden gaffe watch, everyone is going to be on the hunt for the next stumble. on the hunt for the next stumble-— on the hunt for the next stumble. ., , ., ., stumble. so are you hearing from some _ stumble. so are you hearing from some democrats - stumble. so are you hearing from some democrats who i stumble. so are you hearing - from some democrats who think in light of that, though, potentially this could be the moment for him to step out of the race because i guess the concern is among some in the party that if they don't do it soon enough, eventually there is the potential of

he was in a union hall in scranton. i was there with him, and before he went to campaign headquarters and watched the returns come in that made him president of the united states. he's been down against donald trump this cycle, within the margin of error. does this change the equation for him and for congressional candidates there? >> it certainly does. and by the way, i would like to mention this is a time for democrats to be ruthlessly pragmatic, they need to select a nominee who can win pennsylvania. and kamala harris is a strong candidate but she the strongest to win pennsylvania or michigan. i would be considering gretchen whitmer or josh sapir. that's with this without, dawn't pander the left, it's not about identity politics. -- >> you think shapiro for vp could win pennsylvania? >> i say top of the ticket. you need to win the top of the ticket. who would do better in pennsylvania? and democrats need to look at this because there are a number of races that will be very competitive, who is the best candidate to wi

he grew up in a middle-class family in scranton, pennsylvania, and he has never forgotten where he came from. and i have been a first-hand witness. with every decision he makes in the oval office, he thinks about how it will impact working americans. he understands. [applause] he understands everyday struggles, because he has actually lived them. but friends, i say the contrast between joe biden and donald trump is like night and day. but with the selection of his running mate this week, donald trump is also trying to distract people. he wants to direct attention away from his record and his project 2025 plan to suggest that he and his running mate are going to prioritize the middle class. but we are not buying it. we are not falling for the okey-doke. as many of you know, i am a former prosecutor, so i say let's look at the facts, shall we? [cheers and applause] so, donald trump tries to claim he brought back american manufacturing. the fact is, under donald trump, america lost tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs. and more than 1000 factories closed under his watch. the facts. , pr

everything got stuck in scranton with no jobs and we moved to delaware so we could buy a small househow you build equity. the three-bedroom split level home with four kids and the grandpa living with us in the home. we are making the most significant investment in climate in all of history.

we grew up in a middle-class family in scranton, pennsylvania and he has never forgotten where he camerom. and i have been a firsthand witness. with every decision he makes in the oval office, he thinks about how it will impact working americans. he understands -- he understands every day struggles because he has actually lived them. so friends, i say the contrast between joe biden and donald trump is like night and day. but with the selection of his running mate, this week, donald trump is also trying to distract people. he wants to direct attention away from his record and his project 2025 plan to suggest that he and his running mate are going to prioritize the middle-class. but we are not buying it. we are not falling for the okie doke. as many of you know i am a former prosecutor. so i say let's look at the facts, shall we?

a kid from scranton, ohio, i'm sorry, scranton, pennsylvania, becoming the president of the united stateswant to just follow up with what eugene was talking about. i think the republicans were looking for a much bigger bounce after their convention. to have joe biden announce on sunday that he would not be running for re-election, kamala harris taking hold of the nomination so quickly, the speech last night by the president. you're right, donald trump is struggling to get in front of the headlines. i do think, though, also as eugene was saying to have both the president who's not running again who can really maneuver and really help promote kamala harris as she moves as the vice president into this new role as the democratic nominee for president of the united states. >> and what a contrast, eugene, we talk about this all the time, but the difference between the way that kamala harris and the democrats around her are presenting themselves versus donald trump and the republicans around him, and i'm thinking about right after this speech in the oval, you saw the emotion. you saw his family

he grew up in a middle-class family in scranton and he has never forgotten where he comes from.gain, i am a first-hand witness from being with him in the oval office, to the situation room, and seeing him on the global stage with world leaders. president joe biden fights for the american people and we are deeply, deeply grateful for his service to our nation. [applause] joe, are you watching, do you hear this clapping? can you see it? president biden: i'm watching, i'm watching. >> we love you, joe. president biden: you're the best, kid. v.p. harris: let us be very clear, joe is not done. his vision is clear. thank you, joe. and it is my great honor to have joe's endorsement in this race. and it is my intention to go out and earn this nomination and to win. [applause] so in the days and weeks ahead, i, together with you, will do everything in my power to unite our democratic party, eight to unite our nation, and to win this election, as many of you know, before i was elected as vice president, before i was elected as united states senator, i was the elected attorney general of c

any of the voters from joe biden to scranton and wilmington. >> she won't. joe biden being for scranton helped. kamala harris being from san francisco does not. even her energy with less to hold she could not get through the border. time and again, every time she goes to campaign she is a worse campaigner then we have even looked at on paper. i do not understand this movement so quickly where they want to go. what i see really happening here is they will not even get challenge on the money. take biden's name often harris. that will get challenged in court. they are pretty clear. you have to give that money back if you made it to a super pack, that is different. a candidate has one advantage. they get a buy at a lower rate than super pacs. that would be a real disadvantage. if i was anybody i would challenge kamala harris right to that money. that is a continual lie to the american public. they gave that money for joe biden running for president. when you talk about democracy, you talk about the rule of law. the democrats have thrown that all out the window.

. >> i am from scranton. i had to -- southern delaware, northern delaware to scranton. and we came back home but look, even when i was running for senate and each time i ran, quite frankly, not a joke, a little bit in particular got me across the line. i am not joking. i mean it got seriously organizationally and in terms of fundraising, the whole deal. here is the deal. this election will be about block and tackle. simple basic politics. simple. a matter of how many signs we get out and how many doors we knock on and how many calls we make. look, the reason i got into this is the same reason you did. i used to have a philosophy, we did in our government including with some democrats of trickle- down economics. the very wealthy did well and everybody else would do well and it would trickle down. my dad was a hard-working guy, a fine man. not a lot ever trickled down to his kitchen table. when i got elected i mean this sincerely, i tried this when i was a senator and kept pushing it but now it is policy. you are going to build the economy from the middle out and bottom u

with beauty in the real estate world, and joe biden, of course, likes to pretend that he's just scranton i don't think joe biden knows much about what he is or isn't these days, but, you know, the guy who actually connects with working people in this country is not fake scranton joe. it's real president donald trump. because they know -- because they know that he has their best interests at heart. they know that when he was president for four years, groceries and gas and energy and housing were actually affordable to a normal person in this country, and after four years of the biden administration, the basic trappings of a good middle class life have become less and less attainable. in my home state of ohio, the average ohio family is about $10,000 poorer than they were four years ago. and of course ronald reagan famously asked in a great debate, i think it was jimmy carter, he asked the american people in a debate with jimmy carter, are you better off than you were four years ago. i

only the mayor of his hometown. just heartbroken, it's been a really tough 3 weeks for us here in scrantonrsonally, so i can't imagine what the president and his family have had to go through? in the presidential family, meanwhile, as the abc television channel states, after biden refused to be re-elected, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. cbs news, citing the president's brother, adds that general health played an important role in this decision, perhaps that is why, commenting on the withdrawal of the president's candidacy... the british prime minister expressed confidence that biden's gesture is nothing more than concern for the american people, following him , representatives of the countries of the british commonwealth spoke out. it's up to the democratic party, the democrats will hold their convention the same way how the republicans held their convention last week. i think, regardless of your political views, the reality is that this is a leader who has given 50 years of public service in america, that's quite a significant achievement and you know, so we wish him

we are in a situation where joe biden, this octogenarian white guy from delaware -- from scranton by way of delaware, is going to be the man who delivers america the first african-american president and the first woman president and the first woman of color president. joe biden will have played an absolutely instrumental unique personal role in breaking all of those glass ceilings. you do that, not because you are always putting yourself first, but because you are making good decisions, you are trusted, you are a good wing man, you are a good team player, an excellent leader, and you're not afraid to bring other people along with you. he and it is just -- i mean, the legacy of joe biden, here, and still more time left in this term in office, but he is going to get kamala harris elected g president of the united states, and he is going to save the country from donald trump, not once, but twice. and, that is going to be the legacy of joe biden, in terms of what his country needed from him, and what he gave. it is just a -- i really am -- i know we have been on the air for an hour alrea

i know how we did it when everything got stuck in scranton with no jobs. we moved to delaware and dad works like hell to get a down payment for a small house. that is how you build equity. a split level home with four kids and a grandpa, but it was a home and we were able to build some equity. we are making the most significant investment in climate ever in all of history.

nowhere else on earth could a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings in scranton, pennsylvania andelaware sit behind the desk in the oval office as president of the united states but here i am. that is what is so special about america. we are a nation of promise and possibilities. of dreamers and doers. how grateful i am to all of you. the great thing about america is here, kings and dictators do not rule. the people do. >> the day after president biden first announced the end of his campaign, vice president harris made her way to wilmington, delaware. that is where the former biden harris campaign headquarters shifted to become the kamala harris headquarters and where she and second gentleman doug emhoff gave to give dashcam to give this message the campaign -- came to give this message to campaigners. >> the first time i came to wilmington is when she got the call from then candidate biden to be on the ticket. we came here the next day. we went to their home. he said with dr. biden welcome to the family. you are now bidens. and they made us cookies. [laughter] and they called our

it's been a really tough three weeks for us here in scranton and for our family personally, so i can'ts family have had to go through. in the presidential family, meanwhile, according to abc television, after biden’s refusal to seek re-election, they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. cbs news, citing the president's brother, adds that general health played a role in this. must decide who they want in the white house, and of course, i am sure that this choice will have important implications for the transatlantic relationship, but that is for the citizens of the united states to decide, i don't want to interfere, i don't think it's our role to go and telling americans what they should do or expressing a preference for one candidate or another is not my job anyway. germany, represented by mead and annanel berbak , on the contrary, supported biden’s resignation. i i really respect the decision of american president joe biden, he puts the interests of the country above his own. prime minister of great britain rishi sunok expressed confidence that biden’s gesture is nothing mor
