Well, Pennsylvania is shaping up to be a critical state in this presidential election

with both the Trump and Harris campaign spending considerable time and money there.

Congresswoman Madeline Dean represents the state's fourth district, that's a suburb of Philadelphia and she joins us now.

Great to have you back on the program.

I'm delighted to be here with you on this exciting night.

Well look, when we last spoke in early July, you were among those Democrats who was supporting President

Biden even as party leaders were at the time privately suggesting he exit the

race. He said he defeated Donald Trump once and that he had the record to do it again.

I wonder what you make now of the way in which this party has so quickly coalesced around

Kamala Harris.

Well, and I do stand by Joe Biden.

What a record of accomplishment, plus years and I am delighted

to see the kind of response that he gets tonight. It will blow the roof off this

place I'm certain. As they start the sound check here as I'm speaking yes but and all the

lead up speakers before him but I was also clear-eyed about the challenges ahead

of us and I expressed that to my caucus as well as to the

campaign. I stand by the president in all of what he has done, all the

accomplishments I will say alongside a Democratic Congress and a Democratic Senate

think of all the bills that we have passed that he spearheaded and signed into law that

changed our economy, grew jobs.

So I'm just delighted with where we are.

The enthusiasm is palpable back in my district,
