Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will return to the campaign trail and deliver remarks in Southwestern Pennsylvania Monday, according to a campaign news release Sunday night. The release stated Biden’s speech will take place in the Pittsburgh area and will focus on „whether voters feel safe in the U. S. under President (Donald) Trump’s administration.“ The former vice president’s speech will be first major address since he appeared at the all-remote Democratic National Convention two weeks ago. Biden’s surrogates have pushed back against Trump and many Republicans who have blamed Democrats for the violence that has broken out in several cities, including in Kenosha, Wisconsin where Jacob Blake was shot seven times by Officer Rusten Sheskey and in Portland, Oregon, where ongoing clashes between protesters and police has drawn national attention. Democrats have argued the responsibility for the unrest lies with the president. Debris removal and cleanup efforts will continue in Louisiana Monday following Hurricane Laura, a destructive storm that ripped off roofs, flooded streets and knocked out power to thousands after it made landfall last Thursday. Louisiana’s death toll from the storm rose to 14 Sunday as cleanup efforts were hampered by power outages that may last a month and dry water spigots in many of the hardest-hit areas.
