Biden's Final Pittsburgh Campaign Event To Feature Lady Gaga
International singing and acting superstar Lady Gaga will be in Pittsburgh with Biden on Monday.

PITTSBURGH, PA — With the presidential election a day away, Democratic nominee Joe Biden will be in western Pennsylvania today and receive a campaign boost from singer and actress Lady Gaga
Biden is expected to appear in Beaver county and hold two drive-in events in Pittsburgh, with Lady Gaga appearing at one of them. Meanwhile, singer and actor John Legend will appear with Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris for events in Philadelphia on the campaign's final day.
Sunday's announcement that Lady Gaga would be appearing with Biden sparked a response on Twitter from Tim Murtaugh, communications manager for President Donald Trump's campaign. "Nothing exposes Joe Biden's disdain for the forgotten working men and women of Pennsylvania like campaigning with anti-fracking activist Lady Gaga," he stated.
