Joe Biden tried to brandish his eastern Pennsylvania credentials on Sunday and botched it when he misstated the team on his jacket.

At a later stop, Biden introduced his granddaughter, Finnigan Biden:

“And I am Finnigan Biden’s grandmom,” he told a group at a “surprise” campaign stop in the same city.
“That’s her grandmom,” he corrected, referring to Jill Biden, “and I’m her grandpop.”
