More scraps — and more references to Biden’s political persona, some humorous, others serious: Amtrak train. Dr. Jill Biden. American jobs. Working families. Not one but two bingos were called out now — but not “Biden Bingo” this time. These winners apparently forgot the instruction to announce victory with the president’s name, but nobody enforced the rule. Suddenly out of prizes, but with a bin still teeming with Biden-themed scraps of paper, a campaign aide hurried to fetch some more. She came back with a deck of cards and a few large-print books of word games. The scraps of paper drew from snippets of Biden’s biography and governing priorities. He famously commuted by Amtrak train to the Capitol as a U.S. senator. He sports aviator-style sunglasses on bright days. And he’s made “malarkey” into a household word. Finally, there was just one scrap left. “Good-paying jobs,” said Mireau, and the room erupted in applause. Everyone had filled their board. And now it was time for business. Up came an energetic young man who introduced himself as one of the campaign organizers working out of this Democratic field office in an aging office building in midtown Phoenix. He handed out his own scraps of paper — volunteer cards — and urged them to help the campaign by knocking on doors and calling other voters.
