Democrats in competitive races are tiptoeing around President Joe Biden's official visits, making case-by-case decisions on whether to appear alongside him.
“Nobody’s unhappy that Biden got some things done and that inflation seems to be easing a little bit, and maybe he’s not as dead in the water as it seemed six or eight months ago," said Wisconsin-based pollster and strategist Paul Maslin."But let’s not kid ourselves: This is still a country where almost 80% of the people think that things are headed on the wrong track.”
Biden skipped over dozens of races in which the outcomes are in far greater doubt. In some of them, Democrats are in strong positions to win despite poor favorability ratings for Biden. Biden doesn’t appear to be taking it personally, and he has encouraged Democrats to do what they must to win in November.
In Ohio, former Democratic Party chair Chris Redfern pointed to an event that members of both parties are likely to attend alongside Biden: the ceremonial groundbreaking in September when Intel Corp. starts construction on two semiconductor facilities in central Ohio — a $20 billion project that is expected to benefit from substantial state and federal subsidies. Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican up for re-election,“Zero downside,” Redfern said of attending the event.
Hours later, the campaign sought to emphasize the split again, with Fetterman calling on Biden to use executive authority to start removing marijuana from the federal list of controlled substances.
