Three presidents are sweeping through Pennsylvania Saturday, aiming to rally their supporters in the closing stretch before Tuesday’s election and signaling the national weight of the state’s races for governor, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House.
Former President Barack Obama joined Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Lt. Gov. John Fetterman before some 7,500 supporters in Pittsburgh in the morning. Both then came to Philadelphia for an afternoon event with President Joe Biden and Attorney General Josh Shapiro, the Democratic nominee for governor.
Hundreds of pro-Trump flags snapped in unison in 17 mph winds under an ominous cloud-filled sky. AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell” blasted on the speakers. But throughout his speech he returned to issues around transgender people, repeatedly bringing up rules around bathrooms and sports. “He’s a good Christian family man who wants to have a country left for his children and grandchildren,” Peg McGuirk said of Mastriano.
The crowd roared when state Sen. Vincent Hughes, a Democrat from West Philadelphia, rattled off the policy differences between Fetterman and Oz, and then ended with, “John Fetterman lives in Pennsylvania, and Oz don’t.” George said she plans to vote for Democrats up and down the ticket Tuesday and is most concerned about abortion access and other social issues.“I love Obama so much,” she gushed. “Have you seen his rallies? He speaks the truth. And I love him.”
The Pennsylvania governor’s race could determine the future of abortions right and voting laws in the country’s fifth most populous state — and determine if Mastriano, an avid election denier, appoints the secretary of state who oversees the state’s elections in 2024, when it could again be a pivotal presidential battleground.
But much of the immediate focus is likely to fall on the hugely expensive Senate contest, where polls show barely any separation between Fetterman and Oz. Obama’s presence signals how the former president may retain more luster than the one currently presiding over sky-high inflation.
