President Joe Biden visited his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania Tuesday, the place where he grew up in a Puerto Rican neighborhood and got cancer from the oil on his mom’s car’s windshield. Even though he’s been in politics for 50 years, Biden likes to bring up his working-class upbringing in Scranton.
Biden was really on his game:

NewsNation’s Jackie Koppell estimated there were 200 to 300 people in attendance:

Looks like they had some extra chairs.
There’s more reporters than people 🤣🤣🤣

That’s quite the turnout in his hometown. Repeat after me in a sarcastic way, but he totally got 81 million votes.’ 🙄

No one really likes Biden.
He is the least favorite candidate there really ever was.

Even with all the seats filled it’s still pathetic

Looks a lot like his inauguration after his record setting 81 million votes.

If I recall, people used to go see a president whether they agreed with them or not. But no more. No one is excited to see this man.

It’s about getting the camera angles just right.

There’s a reason the news doesn’t show the crowds for either candidate.

Doesn’t matter. His 2020 campaign events looked exactly the same and he still “won” by a large margin.
— Chris A. (@cmalex79) April 16, 2024
His 2020 campaign events were five people in someone’s backyard separated by six-foot circles.
Is this being held in the Black, Hispanic, Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, Italian, Irish, or Puerto Rican community where he grew up?
— TuntDog (@Randytreece5) April 16, 2024
Hahahaha, the whole town turned out because nobody works and they’re all collecting welfare 😂
— Mikeb1974 (@lennyb2743) April 16, 2024
And he’ll get 150,000,000 votes in November

Biden wasn’t onstage yet, so maybe a dozen more people walked in after this photo was taken.
Meanwhile, in Harlem:
These scenes from Trump’s New York bodega visit are insane
People lined up all around the block with their phones out
“Four more years” chants in deep blue Harlem
The tide is turning
