Sat Nov 02 19:40:25 UTC 2024: ## Biden Makes Final Campaign Stop in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Support Harris
**Scranton, Pennsylvania** – President Joe Biden returned to his childhood hometown on Saturday for a final campaign stop in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, urging voters in a key swing state to elect her over Republican Donald Trump in Tuesday’s election.
The event was a muted one, with Biden speaking at a small hall to union workers, a group he remains popular with. He highlighted his and Harris’s support for unions, his pride in having been the first president to walk a picket line, and their efforts to restore pensions.
“Don’t forget where you came from,” Biden urged the crowd, warning of the consequences of a Trump victory and the potential repeal of the Affordable Care Act. He also described his desire to confront those who would undo his legislative achievements with a colorful phrase, saying, “These are the kind of guys you’d like to smack in the ass.”
Biden emphasized Harris’s commitment to working Americans, stating he wouldn’t have chosen her as his running mate if she didn’t share his views. He urged the crowd to “elect Kamala as president,” highlighting the progress made during his presidency and emphasizing Harris’s ability to build upon it.
Biden’s appearance in Scranton, a place with a significant history for him, was seen as a swan song for his vice president, who he has been less active in supporting on the campaign trail since stepping aside as the Democratic Party’s standard bearer in July.
While Biden’s recent comments about a Trump supporter or supporters being “garbage” generated controversy, his appearance in Pennsylvania alongside a wall of “Harris for President” signs served as a final reminder of his support for his vice president.
