President Joe Biden and his onetime boss, former President Barack Obama, appeared at a campaign rally Saturday for Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D-PA) and Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D-PA) in hopes of helping them win their respective Senate and gubernatorial races.
Shapiro leads Republican state Senate leader Doug Mastriano by more than 10 percentage points, but Fetterman is in a very close race against Republican senatorial candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz. Roughly 7,500 people were in attendance, according to the White House.
Biden spoke first, and his remarks largely mirrored the stump speech he has delivered since August. He touted his legislative wins and attacked Republicans, including Oz and Mastriano, for threatening to roll back the economic progress the United States has seen since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
