Trump is endorsing televangelist Mehmet Oz, who is seeking a Senate seat, and gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, and appeared at the Latrobe airport. He avoided talking about his own possible presidential candidacy, contenting himself with a hint as he urged his supporters to vote for the candidates.
— Americans deserve a Congress — and a president — that will protect the nation’s borders, Trump said Politico.
Obama and Biden campaigned for Senate candidate John Fetterman and gubernatorial aspirant Josh Shapiro at Temple University in Philadelphia.
“Pennsylvania, you have a choice between politicians who seem willing to say anything and do anything to get into power, and people who see and care about you and share your values,” Obama said.
Pennsylvania is one of those states where it is extremely even, and could decide the balance of power in the Senate. Today it is 50/50 with the vice president as the deciding vote.
It’s also one of the few seats where Democrats have a decent chance of wresting a seat currently held by a Republican, as Pat Toomey retires. Some opinion polls have pointed out Fetterman in the lead, but at least as many point to Oz having a slight advantage.
As for the governorship, Shapiro appears to have the most support.
A third former president, Bill Clinton, campaigned in New York.
