Vice President Joe Biden toured Renton Community College and delivered a speech touting the Obama administration’s jobs program Thursday morning.
He told the crowd that “the middle class is hurting” and had seen only meager wage increases in recent years.
Biden then headed up I-5 for a luncheon and fundraiser hosted by Senator Maria Cantwell at the Washington State Convention Center.
The Vice President left town Thursday afternoon following the appearance, which caused brief traffic tie-ups before he flew out of Boeing Field.
Cantwell’s luncheon was a fundraiser for Democratic women running for the U.S Senate in several states.
