9/22 Daily Does of Joe

Friends -- see below for today's Dose of Joe.

• Yesterday, Joe Biden delivered a powerful and moving speech in Manitowoc, Wisconsin‚— where Obama won by more than seven points in 2008, and Trump won the county by more than 21 points in 2016. In his speech, Joe made his pitch directly to Obama-Trump voters and reinforced that he sees this race as Scranton versus Park Avenue.

• Kamala Harris will travel to Flint and Detroit, Michigan. She will tour small businesses in Flint that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. And in Detroit, she will participate in a "Shop Talk" roundtable conversation with Black men and a voter mobilization event for National Voter Registration Day and to highlight September 24, the first day Michiganders can start voting in person.

• Jill Biden will virtually meet with leaders in Erie County, Pennsylvania, to discuss the importance of community colleges and the role they play as engines of socio-economic mobility for students and the communities that surround them. She will speak about her experience as a community college professor and emphasize the Biden-Harris plan to expand access to secondary education.

• Doug Emhoff will travel virtually to Colorado where he will do a virtual tour of Rosenberg's Bagels & Delicatessen in Denver, join a Colorado National Voter Registration Day Rally with Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Attorney General Phil Weiser, State Representatives Leslie Herod, Dylan Roberts, and Gracie Abrams, and join a ‘cafecito’ with Biden for President Colorado Latino Council, moderated by Senate President Leroy Garcia and State Senator Julie Gonzales.

• Yesterday, Biden for President announced it is pushing its paid media offensive into key battleground expansion states, Georgia and Iowa, growing the campaign’s robust advertising program to span a total of 12 critical states between now and Election Day and represent the broad and diverse map that paves multiple paths for Joe Biden to reach 270 electoral votes. Additionally, the campaign debuted new ads in Georgia: “Shop Talk: Criminal Justice Reform,” and “Shop Talk: Yes She Can.”

• Yesterday, the Actors’ Equity Association, the national labor union representing more than 51,000 professional actors and stage managers in live theatre, and Community Change Voters, a political action committee working to expand the electorate by enabling infrequent voters, endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for President and Vice President of the United States.

• Additionally, Theodore Roosevelt IV and New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich both authored op-eds blasting Trump for falsely claiming he was a ‘great environmentalist’. And a group of former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) heads, including two who served under Republican presidents, joined a Biden for President press call to discuss the urgent need to address the climate crisis as extreme weather events engulf the country, how the clean air and clean water are on the ballot this election, and the responsibility of the EPA to act.

JOE’S SOCIAL MEDIA TO AMPLIFY
TWITTER

@joebiden: When the virus came, President Trump wasn’t thinking about you, he was thinking about his own reelection. It’s how Trump looks at the world: It’s always about him, never about us. You deserve a president who will put you first.

@joebiden: Thank you for the warm welcome, Manitowoc! With the help of companies like Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry, we're going to revitalize American manufacturing and make sure the future is made here in America.
