Vice President Joe Biden will return to New Hampshire next week, a campaign official confirmed this afternoon. Biden is scheduled to speak at a political event on Tuesday, May 22 in Keene. No further details have been released.

"I think it's unfortunate that we live in a country these days where public officials threaten journalists, threaten to put journalists in jail for exposing facts …
