US President Joe Biden has been campaigning in Pennsylvania for Democratic nominee John Fetterman as Democrats and Republicans battle hard for a Senate seat that could sway the majority. Biden is heading to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia to promote his infrastructure investment plan with John Fetterman, one of the most important Democrats and hoping to enter the Senate in the November election.
A candidate known for his love of shorts and sweatshirts is running a bitter race against prominent Republican surgeon Mehmet Oz, sapping Democrats’ hopes of retaining control of Congress.
John Vetterman’s comfortable lead has shrunk from 11 points in mid-September to about five points in recent polls.
Analysts see Pennsylvania as one of the key states that Democrats must win on Nov. 8 to retain control of the Senate. The election battle in the House of Representatives seems to be more difficult.
The impact of Joe Biden’s attempts to help his party has been limited so far, as his waning popularity makes it harder for him to do so. In recent speeches, Biden has pledged to defend the right to abortion and has shown a willingness to fight high gas prices.
But Americans seem to be leaning toward Republican rhetoric three weeks before the election.
