SCRANTON, Pa. — This Pennsylvanian city has long been lauded as the “home of” several Democrats running for higher office statewide: Bob Casey, the late governor, and his son, the former Sen. Bob Casey Jr., and Hillary Clinton’s father, Hugh Rodham. Hillary was baptized here and spent her summers as a child on Lake Winola, located about 15 miles north, at the family cottage built by her grandfather.

And if you somehow do not remember this from all of the years that former President Joe Biden was running either for vice president or president, he was born here and lived on the same Washington Avenue that the Caseys did.
