This issue hits close to home for Biden, as his late son, Beau, tragically passed away from brain cancer, which the president believes was caused by burn pits. Following his speech in Nashua, President Biden will travel to Boston.
Despite the president’s efforts in New Hampshire, the state is unlikely to be a battleground in the upcoming election, with Cook Political Report listing it as “likely D” and a January poll from Marist College showing Biden ahead by 3 percentage points against former President Donald Trump.
