Joe Biden Enters the Race / by Justin Merriman

On April, 29, 2019, I photographed former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden run onto a stage at the Teamsters Local 249 hall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as his first campaign stop since declaring he was running for President. He told the audience then that Pennsylvania will likely hold the key to the White House in 2020.

Four days away from the election, and Pennsylvania is indeed a pivotal state in the race. Over the last year I’ve traveled across West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania covering issues that people in this region face. In the next few days I’ll be sharing some of those images.
