The speech is part of big push by top Democrats to boost Pennsylvania Democrats in the closing stretch ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm election. "I absolutely do believe that John Fetterman will win this election," Harris told reporters ahead of a speech in Philadelphia. Trump, Biden's 2020 election opponent potential 2024 adversary, is expected to campaign in Pennsylvania next weekend as well.

PHILADELPHIA/WILMINGTON, Oct 28 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will make a rare appearance together on the campaign trail in Philadelphia on Friday as the duo seeks to boost Pennsylvania Democrats in the closing stretch of the Nov. 8 midterm election. Their visit - Biden's 19th to the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania since taking office - comes less than two weeks until Election Day. Biden will return to Pennsylvania again next week with former President Barack Obama, underscoring the urgency Democrats feel to replace retiring Republican Senator Pat Toomey. Biden and Harris will speak at the Pennsylvania Democratic Party’s annual Independence Dinner, a major state party event expected to raise more than $1 million. Biden’s 2020 rival, Trump, and his potential adversary in 2024, is expected to campaign in Pennsylvania next weekend as well.

“Obviously I wasn’t clear enough for you to understand this,” Oz, a heart surgeon, said in a comment directed at Fetterman. Calvello asserted that Fetterman did “pretty damn well.” Oz spokesperson Barney Keller pronounced it a “disaster” for Fetterman. “After months of trying to hide his extreme abortion position, Oz let it slip on the debate stage on Tuesday. I support fracking, and I stand and I do support fracking,” Fetterman responded when he was confronted with the answer from four years ago. “Why haven’t you apologized to that unarmed innocent Black man?” Oz asked Fetterman.

WASHINGTON — At stake in this year’s key Senate races is not just the balance of power between the parties, but within them. Now this year's Senate races represent one of the toughest electoral challenges yet for the modern progressive movement. These groups will back progressives in open Senate races, but have yet to recruit someone to run against an incumbent Democrat. But both Fetterman and Barnes then went on to be elected lieutenant governor, statewide victories that helped them convince party insiders they could win U.S. Senate races. John Fetterman, the Democratic Senate nominee in Pennsylvania, greets supporters at Nether Providence Elementary School, in Wallingford on Oct. 15.

John Fetterman said in a recent interview that defunding the police "was always absurd." "It was always absurd to defund the police," Fetterman said. When asked about Philadelphia City Council President Darrell Clarke's desire to take a look at the constitutionality of some stop-and-frisk policies, Fetterman spoke of the importance of making sure any policy decisions would not be "abused." Most Democrats — including President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — have rejected the concept of defunding police departments. Fetterman is running against Republican Mehmet Oz in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country.

"Those qualities don't seem to always apply to successful Republican candidates," Obama told hosts Jon Favreau, Dan Pfeiffer, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor, all former Obama staffers. The dominant narratives there are so powerful that people will vote for DeSantis even if I'm not sure that they would really have a great time."
