Travels of Vice President Joe Biden—July 2012

President Barack Obama  |  First Lady Michelle Obama  |  Vice President Joe Biden  ||  Former Gov. Mitt Romney 

In July Vice President Biden is addressing annual conferences/conventions of six national organizations (NEA, National Council of La Raza, NAACP, NAPO, IAFF, and AFT).  Biden did a bit of campaigning in key states (as for example his July 3 visit to Scranton and July 19 visit to Columbus).  He also did several fundraisers for Senate candidates and party committees.  He does not seem to be doing many fundraisers for the re-election campaign, however.
