Biden touts “Scranton values” in economic campaign pitch

President Biden returned to his childhood hometown to draw contrasts between his economic vision and Donald Trump’s. Campaigning in Pennsylvania, the president embraced what he called “Scranton values” versus “Mar-a-Lago values.” Mr. Biden claimed that Donald Trump and Republicans want the wealthy to pay less in taxes, make seniors work longer before retirement, and cut Medicare. The president’s focus on the economy comes as Americans continue to face stubborn inflation and elevated interest rates.
