Biden has always been popular there -- both due to his Scranton roots, and because tiny Delaware derives most of its identity from its proximity to PA.
Biden was chosen by Obama specifically to win Pennsylvania. Obama hasn't liked Biden from day 1, and still doesn't care for him. This isn't even much of a secret.
Biden's greatest strength (at the time he was nominated) was that it was very likely he'd grab PA back for the Dems, forcing Trump to have to win one of the three northern states (MI/WI/MN), while also having to hold everything else he previously carried.
This is why Trump is facing such an uphill battle.
