WTAE Pittsburgh: Former Vice President Joe Biden may declare he's running for president Wednesday.
Published reports say former Vice President Joe Biden will hold a rally in Pittsburgh Wednesday afternoon after first declaring his candidacy for president in Charlottesville, Virginia, but no local elected officials, Democratic Party leaders, labor leaders or political consultants so far have confirmed it.

"Joe Biden is Pittsburgh. He speaks about everything we are. We're so proud to have him here," said Darrin Kelly, of the Allegheny/Fayette Central Labor Council, following Biden's participation in the 2018 Labor Day Parade.

"We'll follow anything he does, and we'll see what the future holds," Kelly said at the time.
Just don't follow him to The Shady Rest Hotel.

Creepy Uncle Joe

Iowahr=Iowa=Votes first.

And...The Junction.

UPDATE

Washington Examiner: Biden cancels campaign launch from Charlottesville.
Former Vice President Joe Biden has canceled plans to launch his 2020 bid for the White House in Charlottesville, Va., where a woman protesting a white nationalist rally was murdered when a car was driven into a crowd of activists in 2017.

The last-minute change of plan could be an indication of disorganization in the Biden campaign organization[.]
[.]
With no direct connection to Charlottesville, some viewed the move as disrespectful and capitalizing on the death of activist Heather Heyer, 32, during the "Unite the Right" rally in August 2017.

Biden spokesman Bill Russo confirmed to the Washington Examiner that Biden would not announce in Charlottesville, Va. Instead, he is expected to declare his candidacy in Pittsburgh[.]
Does this mean that in the future, no political campaign of any candidate will be launched from a city or town where a tragic event occurred?

Applying this standard equally, I guess no political candidate will ever again announce their bid from Chicago and New York.
