— -- Hillary Clinton introduced Vice President Joe Biden at a campaign rally in his hometown, Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Monday.

While Donald Trump prepared to speak in Ohio on "radical Islamic terrorism," she addressed the crowd at her rally, challenging his approach.

"Donald's been all over the place on ISIS," she began, saying that adding ground troops in the fight "is off the table, as far as I am concerned."

Clinton told the crowd of 3,000 that although they may have friends in northwestern Pennsylvania who are planning on voting for Trump, "friends should not let friends vote for Trump."

"I'm here with the one, the only Vice President Joe Biden," she said, as supporters in the crowd cheered, "Joe, Joe, Joe!"

Discussing Biden's work on "the cancer moonshot to fund breakthroughs and save lives," Clinton said she would "ask Joe to continue the important work he's done to help us fight and to beat cancer."

Clinton said that wherever Biden goes, "he's always the same guy." She pivoted to attacking her billionaire rival, Donald Trump, for not releasing his tax returns and launching a tax plan she said is geared toward benefiting his family and his businesses.

She said that Trump's hotels offer services for guests but not the employees who work there, pointing out a program called Trump Kids.

"They will get special children's room service, children's spa services, even a nanny for a fee," she said. "But if you work for his business, if you clean the rooms, water the lawns, carry people's bags, you get nothing. I'm not even sure Trump knows providing a Trump Kids program for paying customers is not the same thing as providing real child care for your workers."

On foreign policy, Clinton called Trump out for being secretive about his plan, adding, "The secret is he has no plan."

She touched on the tensions and violence in Milwaukee after Saturday's shooting death of an armed black man, Sylville Smith, by a black police officer. "We've got urgent work to do to rebuild trust between police and communities and get back to the fundamental principle — everyone should have respect for the law and be respected by the law."
