Biden Says of Clinton: You Need Her, She Cares

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden stopped at a Philadelphia restaurant to urge an audience of black leaders and voters to turnout in droves next Tuesday, saying a decisive victory for Hillary Clinton could end claims of a "rigged election" in the city by Donald Trump and skeptics.

If the election is close, Biden warned, "He's gonna tell people it was fixed. He's got just enough folks out there who'll believe that stuff. We can't afford that."

"Folks it's not enough we just get out," Biden told the group. "We've gotta win this city by the largest margin we've had in a long, long time. In case you haven't figured it out, you're the key. The point is, they know what the numbers are."

"As Oprah said, you don't have to love her but you need her," Biden said, referring to a recent interview the cable channel owner gave. "(Hillary) doesn't open up that much; it's not her style. But I know how much she cares."
