PHILADELPHIA -- A Democratic congressional candidate says a Pennsylvania school district is playing politics by canceling an event headlined by Vice President Joe Biden.
Biden is set to campaign Wednesday for Democrat Bryan Lentz in the home stretch of a close race for an open congressional seat in the Philadelphia suburbs.
Lentz, a state representative, is facing Republican Pat Meehan, a former U.S. attorney.
Lentz's campaign manager says he had a deal to hold a rally at Radnor High School.
But school board member Pattie Booker says the event was canceled when it became clear Biden would be campaigning during school time, not giving a policy speech. She says it would be inappropriate to have students and staff on hand.
The event will instead be held at a township-owned gym.
