Biden Starts Nevada 2-Day Trip At Blue-Collar Sparks School

Democrat Joe Biden is kicking off a two-day campaign swing through Nevada in a neighborhood in Sparks where another ex-vice president rallied the GOP troops to their last presidential victory in Nevada on election eve in 2004.

 

Biden was vice president under President Obama.

He plans a speech at 6 p.m. Friday at Sparks High School, where then-vice president Dick Cheney made an appearance the day before George W. Bush won re-election.

 

It was the last time Republicans carried the state or Washoe County, which had been GOP for four decades. Biden plans to travel to Las Vegas on Saturday.
