Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to return to Scranton Thursday.
An Obama/Biden campaign spokesperson said Mr. Biden, will hit the campaign trail this week - starting in Florida but making in stops in Iowa and Pennsylvania as well.
Officials said Mr. Biden will speak "at grassroots events in Iowa and Pennsylvania" on Thursday. No information was immediately given on the location or time of the events.
Details on the Vice President's campaign events are forthcoming, said campaign spokesperson Devora Kaye.
Mr. Biden, who lived in Scranton until he was 10, has visited the region four times since he and Mr. Obama were elected. Two were political visits.
He was last here on July 4 to attend a fireworks display on Lackawanna County Courthouse Square.
He stopped at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport in April 2010 to campaign for the re-election of U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter.
In October 2010, he raised money at a fundraiser for Democratic U.S. Rep. Chris Carney's re-election bid, squeezing in a visit to his old Green Ridge neighborhood.
The other visit was official. In September, Mr. Biden consoled flood victims in Duryea after widespread flooding caused millions of dollars of damage across the region.
