Is Biden Losing Pennsylvania?

Joe Biden only lived in northeastern Pennsylvania for about seven of his 81 years, but the city of Scranton looms large in his autobiography. The city, the state's fourth-largest in the days of the President's youth, was the home of Biden's mother's family for generations, since they immigrated from Ireland in the 19th century. Pennsylvania - and Ireland - make up only about half of the President's family tree but, in his telling, he's Scranton Joe the Irish Democrat through and through.
