LAS VEGAS — There might be no politician alive more at home outside a union hall than Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

And his trip west for a campaign rally at the home base of the Culinary Workers Local 226 was no exception.

“You’ve been just wonderful, wonderful to me,” Biden said Thursday in the local’s parking lot, standing in front of a Clinton-Kaine campaign sign in the relative shadow of the Stratosphere Tower. “I wouldn’t have won without labor.”

If anything, Biden has only gotten more aggressive in his efforts to campaign for Democrats, and particularly against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump after a recently-revealed 2005 video showed Trump making vulgar comments about women. Biden called the remarks “the textbook definition of sexual assault.”
