Biden rallies with Jon Bon Jovi at hometown event
A very fired up Joe Biden gave the hometown pitch during his remarks in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, doubling down on the Park Avenue versus Scranton messaging for a good chunk of his remarks, which focused on kitchen table issues and the economy.
Turning to COVID-19, Biden, shouting into the microphone, slammed Trump for not properly warning the country about virus, and mocked Trump for being a "stable genius."
"You know what's really sad about all this? The president knew back at the end of January how deadly the virus was and he hid it from the country. But here's what he did, you know, remember when he went on -- he decided he was going to convince Bob Woodward what a smart guy he was. So he went on -- yeah, smart guy. Stable genius," Biden said, picking up on the crowd's reaction to calling Trump "smart."
Before Biden spoke, Jon Bon Jovi performed three songs for the crowd: "Who Says You Can’t Go Home," "Livin' On A Prayer" and a new COVID-19-themed song, “Do What You Can."
Biden praised Jon Bon Jovi as "a national treasure," and thanked him for performing.
Biden entered and exited the stage to Bon Jovi’s "Limitless."
