HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — President Joe Biden will appear in Pittsburgh on Friday as an opening step in a broader campaign to promote the White House’s achievements in key states before the midterm elections.
But two of the three leading Democrats on Pennsylvania’s statewide ballot this spring who were invited to appear with Biden will not attend, their campaigns confirmed on the eve of the president’s visit.
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, a leading Senate candidate, and state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the likely Democratic nominee in the race for governor, will be absent because of scheduling conflicts, according to their spokespeople.
The high-profile absences come as Democrats in other states have begun taking modest steps to distance themselves from the first-term president, whose approval ratings have fallen sharply in recent months. And while Fetterman and Shapiro indicated that politics had no bearing on their schedules, their decisions to avoid Biden, particularly in his home state, could fuel further questions among anxious Democratic candidates elsewhere as they decide whether to embrace the struggling president.

One word......TOXIC.
It’s like whatever Brandon has is contagious.
Oh yeah. Biden is leading in a matchup with Trump or Desantis. Yep. Sure he is. ROTFL.

Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Biden’s radioactive. It’s a little like an endorsement from Charles Manson.
For those watching politics in PA Fetterman does not need to be seen with Biden right now.
The Democrats annointed Senate candidate is relatively weak in my opinion he will have “Left” money and has pushed for pot legalization the pot industry will give him $$$$ but he is not as good looking visually as the Republican lineup.
Josh Shapiro is in better shape for Governor but even he does not want to be around Biden.
Maybe they just don’t want their hair sniffed.
These Dems are missing one of America’s iconic heroes?
True story. In the march on Washington for civil rights the list of celebrities included Bob Dylan (who many blacks there complained they had never heard of). Sitting next to his friend Hugh Romney (who later became the hippie star Wavy Gravy on magazine covers) Dylan heard the name Dr. Martin Luther King announced as the next speaker.
Hugh Romney leaned over and said “I hope he doesn’t speak very long. Mahalia Jackson is next. I hope he doesn’t cut into her time.” This was the classic I Have A Dream speech.
Rats fleeing from a sinking ship as usual.
Of course. No one wants to be associated with the sinking ship.
“To promote the White House’s achievements in key states” What achievements?
“POLL PANIC! Only 28% believe Biden will win reelection!”
Biden is as popular as head lice.
CC
“scheduling conflicts”, sure, nod nod, wink wink!
Biohazard Biden
Is it Navel Lint Cleaning Day already?????
