MIDTERMS: President Biden And VP Harris To Campaign On Behalf Of Fetterman

US

President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Pennsylvania today to campaign on behalf of Democrat Senate candidate Lt Gov John Fetterman (D-PA) as the fallout continues from Fetterman’s faltering performance in Tuesday’s debate with Republican Mehmet Oz.

  • Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was caught on a hot mic yesterday telling President Biden and New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) his view on marginal Senate races.
  • Schumer: "It looks like the debate [with Fetterman] didn't hurt us too much in Pennsylvania as of today, so that's good … we're picking up steam in Nevada … The state where we're going downhill is Georgia. It's hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker."
  • According to FiveThirtyEight, Fetterman still has a 1.9% aggregated polling lead but recent polls have trended towards Oz. The last poll from Insider Advantage gives Oz a 3% lead.
