US Midterms-Obama To Campaign In Pennsylvania Over Weekend

 

Political leaders will be investing time in Pennsylvania in the hopes of helping out their party’s respective candidates.

Eko Hot Blog reports that Barack Obama’s team have announced that he’ll join the Democratic candidate for governor, John Fetterman, for a rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

EDITOR’S PICK

It comes as polls show the Republican candidate, Mehmet Oz, gaining ground on Fetterman, following what was seen as a halting debate performance by the Democrat.

In a hot mic moment caught on tape last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was heard telling Biden that the debate “didn’t hurt” Democrats “too much” – a comment backed up by some recent opinion polls.

Fetterman is recovering from a stroke he suffered in May. His health has rapidly risen to the race’s top issue as he faces off against Oz, a celebrity TV personality.

Meanwhile, Trump is also planning to campaign in Pennsylvania on Saturday – the same day as Obama.

His rally will be at a regional airport around 40 miles (65km) east of Pittsburgh.
