SCRANTON - Vice President Joseph Biden's campaign visit to Scranton today was canceled because of Hurricane Sandy.
The visit to his hometown and two other stops in Ohio Tuesday were canceled to ensure local law enforcement and emergency management officials could focus on dealing with the storm, President Barack Obama's campaign said.
The campaign never announced where Biden planned to appear, but Lackawanna County Democratic Party chairman Harry McGrath said the party's annual dinner at St. Mary's Center in downtown Scranton the same night was under consideration.
