Biden Defends Paid Speech Supporting Republican Fred Upton

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Biden had earned $200,000 for an October speaking engagement in Benton Harbor, Mich., three weeks before the midterm elections.

Fred Upton, a powerful Republican who joined with Biden to increase funding for cancer research and, separately, helped forge legislation to gut the Affordable Care Act.
