Joe Biden vows to ‘restore decency to the White House’ at stop in Scranton

JOE Biden has arrived in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, one of the states that holds the key to winning the 2020 election. He spoke at a small event, talking about “restoring decency to the White House”, and was greeted by supporters holding up signs saying “Scranton loves Joe!”

Earlier Biden had visited church with his wife Jill, and attended the graves of his first wife and his son Beau, who died in 2015.

Biden is expected to spend election night at his residence in Wilmington, Delaware. Campaign aides have suggested that he may address the nation from there later this evening.
