>>President Biden Visits Scranton To Pay Respects To Ellen Casey
(Harrisburg, PA) -- President Joe Biden has slipped into Pennsylvania without much fanfare to privately pay his respects to the mother of U.S. Senator Bob Casey. Ellen Casey, who died last week in Scranton at the age of 91, was also a former first lady of Pennsylvania. The president said in a brief statement after landing Thursday morning that Mrs. Casey embodied all the values he learned growing up in Scranton. The president attended her visitation privately at St. Peter's Cathedral. He said he'd wanted to go to her funeral Friday but had previously been scheduled to be at a summit at Camp David.
