Joe Biden Set to Make Things Worse for John Fetterman
By Sister Toldjah | 12:30 PM on October 27, 2022
Pennsylvania’s Democratic nominee for Senate John Fetterman had a disastrous debate performance Tuesday night, as even many of his defenders conceded not long after his much-awaited onstage match-up with Republican nominee Mehmet Oz got started.
So with his campaign floundering and unable to lead in polls outside the MoE with less than two weeks to go before Election Day, and with control of the U.S. Senate hanging in the balance, what does Fetterman do?
He calls in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, that’s what:
Biden and Harris will head to Philadelphia to campaign together on Friday, a rare occurrence for the duo who typically don’t travel alongside one another.
With less than two weeks till Election Day, Biden and Harris are set to participate in a reception for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.
“It’s always helpful to have the two leaders of the party out there in the final push,” one Democratic strategist said of the joint appearance. “Is it risky? Maybe. But it sends a powerful message in a really important race.”
Joel Payne, another Democratic strategist backed that sentiment: “There are a few things in politics that have more capital than the bully pulpit of the White House.”
Except in this case, Pennsylvania is a highly competitive state from a political standpoint, and is one of dozens where Biden’s approval ratings have been underwater for months.
Further, though Biden was born in Pennsylvania and has visited the state often during his time as president, boasting of what he’s allegedly done for union workers and how he supposedly “gets” the working class, the economy, inflation, and crime – all areas where Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats get low marks – remain top issues for all voters including those in Pennsylvania.
