BALTIMORE — After traveling to states with much higher-profile gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races, President Joe Biden will hold a rally next week in solidly Democratic Maryland the day before the crucial midterm elections, according to the White House.
Biden’s planned visit follows trips to Florida — where he stumped this week for Democratic Senate candidate Val Demings and gubernatorial hopeful Charlie Crist — and other states with tight contests that will determine control of the U.S. Senate and House. Control of Congress is a huge factor in whether the president can win approval of the remaining items on his legislative agenda during the second half of his term.
On Saturday, Biden plans to join former President Barack Obama in Pennsylvania, which, like Florida, is hosting competitive races for U.S. Senate and governor.
