Former Vice-President and democratic presidential front-runner Joe made stops in the Granite State Tuesday, including a town meeting in Berlin. Berlin, New Hampshire, is known as “the city the trees built.” So, it’s only fitting that former Vice President Joe Biden started his stump speech there talking about climate change. The intimate, yet crowded auditorium on Main Street in downtown Berlin is within eyesight of an old paper mill that has been converted into a biomass plant. Biden has been the clear front-runner in the race since he announced his bid for the democratic nomination. Polls show Senator Bernie Sanders consistently trailing him in second place. This is Biden’s 2nd trip to New Hampshire since formally announcing his run. He had other scheduled stops in the Plymouth and Concord.
