Joe Biden really loves Scranton. His hometown fans love him back -- but want to see more fight.

SCRANTON — Joe Biden stepped to a lectern in front of a large American flag and gave a humble introduction. “I’m Jill’s husband and Jean Finnegan’s son," he said. "I’m from 2446 N. Washington Ave., and I’m happy to be home.”

As Biden’s campaign for president enters its sixth month, with the Feb. 3 Iowa caucuses in the distant-but-near future, he returned to Scranton on Wednesday for his first public appearance in his hometown since declaring his run. On the same day that President Donald Trump was visiting Pittsburgh, the former vice president got a warm reception from about 400 people in this Rust Belt city and university town.

While Biden’s Scranton audience sang his praises, many also shared a hope that he’ll show more fight.

“It’s been a little lackluster,” said Dave Brunis, 65, a longtime supporter. “I think he’s just starting to pick up speed now, which he needs.”

2. Biden will flip Lackawanna county back to blue.

That will be a huge advantage in winning Pennsylvania, imo.

4. Center/Left Country

I wish folks understood that Biden is that Center/Left candidate.

3. I feel like Biden is built for the general...

I think it's harder for him to fight back against his party. But against Trump? He's got a solid message that I think could be devastating.
