PHILADELPHIA — On Saturday, with just days left to campaign ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections, three presidents converged on Pennsylvania in a last-ditch effort to lock down a must-win Senate race for their parties.
Both parties know that the race here could determine control of the upper chamber, and both deployed their biggest stars to make their closing pitch. In Philadelphia, President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama rallied for the Democrats’ Senate candidate, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. Across the state in Latrobe, former President Donald Trump stumped for Fetterman’s opponent, the television personality Mehmet Oz.
Since Thursday, Biden has crisscrossed the nation to speak with voters in key states and congressional districts. In Philadelphia, he reminded voters of his administration’s achievements — billions in new infrastructure spending, a cap on the cost of prescription drugs for seniors, and student debt relief.
