Biden's team says he views election against Trump as 'Park Avenue vs. Scranton'

Source: The Hill

Joe Biden's presidential campaign on Thursday said that the former vice president views the race as "Park Avenue versus Scranton," as the campaign sought to contrast the Democratic nominee's position on taxes with President Trump's.

“Joe Biden sees this election as Park Avenue versus Scranton,” Kate Beddingfield, deputy campaign manager and communications director for the Biden campaign, said on a call with reporters. "We've got a president in Donald Trump who can only see as far on Wall Street and who looks down on working people."

Biden is participating in a CNN Town Hall in the Scranton area, his birthplace, on Thursday evening.

The Biden campaign said that the former vice president plans to raise taxes on high-income people and corporations, wouldn’t raise taxes on those making less than $400,000, and would create and expand tax credits for low- and middle-income families.

Since Trump openly denies that Biden was born in his literal birthplace since he left at age 10.

I waited the whole campaign for Hillary to say this. Trump was born with a silver spoon. He’s never even held a real job.
