PHILADELPHIA (AP) — President Joe Biden hasn’t announced a reelection campaign, but some of the themes of his likely bid should be on display when he addresses a national Democratic Party meeting Friday night in Philadelphia. Biden has renewed calls for political unity. The president plans to focus on his administration’s accomplishments creating jobs and stimulating domestic manufacturing as he and Vice President Kamala Harris speak at a Democratic National Committee gathering in Philadelphia. Prior to their evening speeches, Biden and Harris visited a water treatment plant and celebrated $15 billion in funding to remove lead pipes from service lines around the country, including in Philadelphia.
