speaks with Marilyn Neuerburg during a campaign event in Iowa Falls, Iowa, on May 3.

Biden touts his Scranton, Pa., roots and old-school sensibilities in an attempt to appeal to white working-class voters.

That approach has its drawbacks when it comes to attracting support in largely white states.
