For most of the summer, the president was persona non grata for nearly any Democrat running in a tough race this November. But that’s beginning to change.
Democratic gubernatorial nominee Josh Shapiro and Rep. Matt Cartwright will appear at a Biden event Tuesday in Wilkes- Barre, Pa.
Ohio Senate nominee Tim Ryan, who’s kept his distance, told CNN he’ll be with the president Friday at the groundbreaking for a new Intel semiconductor manufacturing facility.
What we’re watching: Pennsylvania’s Democratic Senate nominee, John Fetterman, told The New York Times he won’t be attending Biden’s Tuesday’s event because he has a previously planned fundraiser in Pittsburgh.
But Fetterman’s campaign told Axios he does plan on being at a Labor Day parade with Biden next Monday. “John will be marching in the Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh next week, and he looks forward to talking to the President there about the need to finally decriminalize marijuana,” Fetterman spokesman Joe Calvello said.
