President Joe Biden came almost home for a victory lap Friday after delivering a State of the Union address that Democrats applauded.
The 81-year-old president flew to Philadelphia and spent the afternoon in Delaware County, adjacent to his adopted hometown of Wilmington.
There he held a kitchen chat session with a local family and headlined a campaign rally, as Pennsylvania will likely be the most decisive state in the general election later this year.
Biden told several hundred supporters gathered at Strath Haven High School: “If you’re tired, you probably saw my speech last night.”
‘I received an unusually warm reception from Marjorie Taylor Greene,” he joked, after the Trump-supporting Georgia lawmaker wore a MAGA hat in his speech and shouted how he needed to draw attention to the murder of Laken Riley, at the hands of an undocumented immigrant.
He also criticized former President Donald Trump for receiving Hungarian Victor Orbán on Friday.
—Do you know who he’s meeting at Mar-a-Lago today? Orbán of Hungary, who has stated that he does not believe that democracy works,” the president commented.

He said Orbán has worked to achieve a “dictatorship”, being the only NATO leader to do so.
“He’s the one you’re meeting with,” Biden said.
The president also reiterated many of the key points he made in his State of the Union address, which lasted more than an hour.
Dr. Biden also took a swipe at Trump when she introduced her husband dressed in a bright purple ensemble.
“Donald Trump wakes up every morning thinking about one person and one person only: himself,” the first lady said, drawing boos from the crowd.
‘He tears people down and pits us against each other. “He makes fun of women’s bodies and devalues our existence,” he said.
“And this is the only thing that really cheers up Philadelphia,” he said with a laugh. ‘As the daughter of a World War II veteran, a Navy veteran and mother of an Army soldier. Donald Trump insults our veterans and belittles those who died in war by calling them losers and fools – how dare he! the first lady exclaimed.

“Donald Trump is dangerous to women, to our families and to our country,” Dr. Biden added. And we can’t let him win.
He warned Democrats that they cannot wake up like they did in 2016, after Trump surprisingly beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House.
‘Terrified by the future that awaits us, thinking: “My God, what just happened? What are we going to do now?” she said.
While Trump has not yet amassed the number of delegates to officially become the Republicans’ presumptive nominee, he cleaned up on Super Tuesday, winning all but one state against rival Nikki Haley and forcing her to drop out of the Republican race on Wednesday.
Both Biden and Trump are heading to Georgia on Saturday for opposing political events as it is expected to be a key swing state again.
