Obama campaigns for Pennsylvania Democrats

US President Joe Biden appeared in Philadelphia Saturday with Barack Obama, Josh Shapiro, the nominee for governor, and John Fetterman, the nominee for Senate.

The attention on Pennsylvania underscores the stakes in 2022 and beyond for the tightly contested state.

The Oz-Fetterman race could decide the Senate majority - and with it, Biden's agenda and judicial appointments for the next two years. The governor's contest will determine the direction of state policy and control of the state's election infrastructure heading into the 2024 presidential contest.
