Biden implores Rock Hill voters: Don't take eye off ball on electing Clinton, Democrats
ROCK HILL -- Vice President Joe Biden called Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton “a believer,” and said congressional candidate Fran Person of Tega Cay was his “third son” in a passionate “Get Out The Vote” rally held Tuesday.
Speaking in front of a packed house at the Kenneth Monroe Transformation Center on Saluda Street, Biden said Clinton had been “battered” by the recent controversy around her use of private email servers, but that she and Person were needed in Washington to continue the work of President Barack Obama.
Biden implored the largely African-American crowd to vote for Democratic candidates up and down the ticket. The rally, just seven days before Election Day, came amid worries that a recent announcement by FBI Director James Comey may swing momentum toward Clinton rival and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“We don’t want to get up on the eighth day and find out we lost by 100, 200, 400 votes and say to yourself, ‘If I took my mom to the polls, if I made three more calls, if I did a little more...’ We can’t let that happen,” Biden said.
