Yesterday, Donald Trump tried to attack me at his campaign rally by saying I abandoned Pennsylvania. Yesterday, Donald Trump tried to attack me at his campaign rally by saying I abandoned Pennsylvania.
Well folks, I’ve never forgotten where I came from. My family did have to leave Pennsylvania when I was 10 -- we moved to Delaware where my Dad found a job that could provide for our family.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t just about me. This is proof that Donald Trump doesn’t understand the struggles working folks go through.
He doesn’t understand what it’s like to worry you will lose the roof over your head. He doesn’t understand what it’s like to wonder if you’ll be able to put food on the table.
And he doesn’t understand that the longest walk a parent can make is up a short flight of stairs to their child’s bedroom to sit on the end of the bed and say, honey, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. We have to move. You can’t go back to your school. You won’t see your friends. You can’t play on that team. You can’t be in the choir because Daddy lost his job or Mommy lost her job.
My dad had to make that walk in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It wasn’t until I was older that I realized how hard it must have been for him.
But he was not alone. This story isn’t unique to the Bidens. Too many people around this country have had to make that walk.
That’s why I’ve spent my whole career fighting -- and I will continue to fight -- like hell so that no one ever has to make that walk again.
I’m ready to keep fighting. And I hope I can count on you to be by my side. If you’re with me, will you chip in to my campaign today? Thanks. You are an important part of this campaign,

It's on us -- all of us -- to stand up and fight for women's right to choose and live with dignity and equal opportunity.  | Republicans across the country are ushering in extreme laws that clearly violate the right to choose that is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, as the Supreme Court explained in Roe v. Wade.
I refuse to impose my religious beliefs on other people. Women should control their own bodies -- period. An abortion should be a decision between a woman and her doctor -- period. That is the law of the land under Roe v. Wade, and it must remain the law of the land.
Speak out with me. Click here to sign your name and share this petition to defend Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose.
What’s going on in Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, and across this nation isn’t a coincidence. Republican-led state legislatures are following the lead of President Trump and trying to end a woman’s right to choose. On the campaign trail, he declared that women should be punished for having an abortion and now states are following through. He promised to overturn Roe and has appointed two Supreme Court justices to do it. These extreme laws are designed to invite the Supreme Court to overturn Roe and make abortion illegal.
It’s on us -- all of us -- to stand up and fight for a woman’s right to choose and live with dignity and equal opportunity.
Take action. Click here to defend Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose.
Thanks for making your voice heard.
