Vice President Joe Biden was left stuttering as he attempted to explain why “white working class” voters aren’t warming up to Hillary Clinton.
Appearing on MSNBC, he was asked why Donald Trump is appealing in places like Scranton, Pennsylvania and Youngstown, Ohio — union strongholds and bastions of Democratic voters.
“That’s why I’m going to be living in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan (this fall),” he said laughing.
“Look, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I think there’s two reasons,” Biden said, trying to grasp for an answer.
“One, I think, uh, the Democratic Party overall, um, hasn’t spoken enough to those voters. Uh, they’ve done the right thing for the voter, haven’t spoken to them.”
“Have Democrats stopped talking to white working class voters?” “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough asked.
“I think we have in part and the reason is we have been consumed with crisis after crisis after crisis and so I go in my old neighborhoods and they go, ‘Hey, Joe, over here. What about me?'”
