Seeking to stop the political bleeding, Joseph R. Biden struck out on the campaign trail Saturday in Pennsylvania, pushing back against President Trump’s charge that he wants to bring the hammer down on the oil and gas industry in the state by banning fracking.
“Look let me be clear,” Mr. Biden said at a rally in Bucks County “I am not banning fracking in Pennsylvania or anywhere else.”
Mr. Biden’s stance on the oil and gas industry is getting extra attention in the wake of the final presidential debate. Mr. Trump said Mr. Biden had delivered a mixed message on fracking over the course of the 2020 race, suggesting he was trying to hide his true position from voters.
During the exchanges, Mr. Trump pounced on Mr. Biden after the Democrat said he would “transition” the nation away from fossil fuels and toward a clean energy economy. Mr. Trump said Mr. Biden has been against fracking.
“I have never said I oppose fracking,” Mr. Biden said.
Mr. Trump countered, “You said it on tape.”
Indeed, independent fact checkers say Mr. Biden falsely claimed he never said he opposed fracking, pointing out to past comments in which he said he would make sure it is “eliminated” and that he opposed “new fracking.”

A jumbo screen at every rally with video of Biden’s comments will suffice.
In politics, if you’re explaining you’re losing. Joe is losing.
