Biden 'more determined than ever' to beat Trump after RNC speech, campaign says

The Biden campaign on Thursday ripped former President Trump’s convention speech as a rambling attempt to mask his “extreme vision” for a second term, while touting President Biden’s intention to stay in the race. Biden campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon in a statement sought to connect Trump to Project 2025, a controversial policy blueprint from the Heritage Foundation that Trump and his team have aggressively tried to distance themselves from.
“Tonight, Donald Trump rambled on for well over an hour and failed to mention Project 2025 even once,” O’Malley Dillon said in a statement. “He failed to mention how he had inflicted pain and cruelty on the women of America by overturning Roe v Wade. He failed to mention his plan to take over the civil service and to pardon the January 6th insurrectionists.
“He sought to find problems with America, not to provide solutions. But after all, it was Donald Trump who destroyed our economy, ripped away rights, and failed middle class families,” she continued. “Now he pursues the presidency with an even more extreme vision for where he wants to take this country.”
O’Malley Dillon argued President Biden is running “for an America where we defend democracy, not diminish it. Where we restore our rights and protect our freedoms, not take them away.” “The stakes have never been higher. The choice has never been more clear,” she said. “President Biden is more determined than ever to defeat Donald Trump and his Project 2025 agenda in November.”

Go Joe! 
whose family has been here since the 1800s.
You know where Philly is right? 
Over the past 30 or so years, the suburbs of Philadelphia have gone from red to pink to purplish, and now to light blue. Even "red" Lancaster County, home of the Amish, has shifted to light red and the urban areas there like Lancaster City, managed to elected a second Democrat to the state House after the 2022 election. It was thanks to places like Lancaster and even the swing county of Bucks over here, that helped Democrats flip 12 seats in the state House in order to take control of that chamber for the first time in a dozen years, and install Philly's own Joanna McClinton as the Speaker.
The population loss in western PA is why, after the 2020 Census was done and PA lost a congressional seat, that lost seat happened in western PA, and not here in the east, because we have gained population here in the east.
My point is that you basically asserted that ads were not happening and I am telling you otherwise. Those ads are even targeted differently on the 2 sides of the state to aim at the specific demographics there. PA is one of the battleground states that has continually been a target of most of the ads, being that we have the largest block of Electoral Votes among the swing states.
Since John Fetterman is a backer of Biden and lives over in the west (although born in the Reading area), he knows the deal and I expect he will be a good surrogate as the campaign moves into its final run to November.
I know that back in 2020, Biden made a trip to Erie as that was a county that flipped in 2016. He was able to flip it back in 2020. Am hoping he can get it on his schedule as we get closer to the election, where his union street cred can be highlighted.
I have also been to Cleveland (again work-related) and always chuckled that it was my first time seeing "Pennsylvania's Great Lake" (Erie) but from the Ohio side. 
One of my supervisors was also born and raised in Pittsburgh and talked about it non-stop. Whenever I was out there, I would remark to my coworkers there about how pretty it was in the area with the hills. Their response would be to pause, think about it, and then agree with a "I guess it is".
My old boss used to talk about how back when the steel mills were still belching soot, putting out laundry on clotheslines to dry was a nightmare. It has obviously been cleaned-up since but also with a loss of much of that industry.
HOWEVER it was one of the few places able to cash in on the "hospital system"/"medical research" trade, which really helped to transition the area out of the old "rust belt" moniker and into what has been a lucrative type of work.
I still think the best bet out there for the areas in Allegheny County outside Pittsburgh proper, is John Fetterman. He did not one but two, 67 county "listening" tours when he was running for Senator, so he has a feel for not just suburban areas, but also the small towns in the more rural counties.
If Fetterman and Biden can join together as part of some kind of town hall there, that would optimum.
Because this is an election year, it is almost guaranteed that Congress WILL take a longer "break" - most likely the entire month of August - so that allows them to all campaign. That would be a good time to schedule events with Biden and either or both of our Senators, along with Chris Deluzio and perhaps Summer Lee, who are also obviously running for re-election.
he was bragging how some ship manufacturer was impressed with his ship designing abilities like
their engineers had never thought of that. Just another made up story by him. 
Even the mental picture is nasty.
Seriously it's like everything Trump does and everything that happens at Mar-A-Shithole are things that you'd see on those National Geographic shows about third world dictatorships.
