The former president and current New York senator are expected to address the failed economic policies and how Barack Obama and Biden will work to help ordinary families, according to a campaign press release.

Biden and Sen. Hillary Clinton have strong ties to the area. Biden was born in Scranton and lived in the city’s Green Ridge section until his family moved to Delaware when he was 10. Hillary Clinton’s father, the late Hugh Rodham, was a Scranton native.

The Clintons will attend the baptism of Simon Rodham, son of the senator’s brother, Tony Rodham, Sunday at the Court Street United Methodist Church. No additional details have been announced.
