Earlier in the day, the former president held a rally in Atlanta and Biden himself was campaigning in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Ohio holds 18 electoral votes and Pennsylvania holds 20, and both are state that President Donald Trump won in 2016.
South Florida is a big area that both candidates are gunning for and Florida is also one of the key battleground states that Trump won during the 2016 election.
On Monday, Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris talked up Biden’s labor credentials during a stop in northeastern Pennsylvania.
If she and Biden win the White House, she said, “we will probably have the most pro-labor administration we’ve seen in a long time.”
Harris made her remarks in Luzerne County, her first of three stops in battleground Pennsylvania on Monday. The region was once a major hub of anthracite coal mining, and the county backed Trump in 2016 after previously supporting Obama.
Harris is pitching Biden’s plan to expand skills training and suggesting there’s no false choice between tackling climate change and saving jobs. Harris said a Biden administration will work to make the country the world’s top maker of electric vehicles.
She was direct about Pennsylvania’s importance. She says, “Pennsylvania’s gonna determine the outcome of this election.”
