And the amazing thing is they\u2019re saying it out loud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Pennsylvania seat has for months been the most likely pick-up opportunity for Democrats in the evenly-divided Senate, but as prospects darken for Democratic incumbents elsewhere, a win here is becoming an even more urgent insurance policy for the party to cling to Senate control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not hyperbole to suggest all eyes are on Pennsylvania,&#8221; Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has showered attention on the Keystone State \u2014 Biden&#8217;s birthplace \u2014 in the final weeks before the election, and officials are preparing for another visit next week. Harris told the crowd the party needs to pick up just two more seats to pass major Democratic agendas on abortion rights and voting rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo more seats,\u201d Harris said, putting up two fingers. \u201cJust two more seats. One of them, right here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Friday event came three days after Fetterman \u2014 recovering from a stroke earlier this year that he says nearly killed him \u2014 had a shaky showing in his sole debate against Republican Mehmet Oz. He spoke smoothly before the crowd in his trademark hoodie and jeans, saying he wanted to bring all Americans the same kind of quality health care that saved his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I may not say everything perfectly sometimes, but I\u2019ll always do the right thing if you send me to Washington, D.C.,\u201d he said to a standing ovation.<\/p>\n<p>The dinner at the Pennsylvania Convention Center is the state party\u2019s biggest fundraiser of the year, and party officials said the $1 million raised is the most ever for the dinner. Attendees included U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, and U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, for whom Biden headlined a virtual fundraiser earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, Biden focused his attacks against congressional Republicans, honing in on GOP plans to raise pre<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ion drug costs, cut Medicare and Social Security, and pass a nationwide abortion ban. Republicans, if they win, will get rid of the Affordable Care Act and its protections for people with pre-existing conditions, energy tax credits and the corporate minimum tax of 15%, he warned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s their plan, among other things. It\u2019s reckless, it\u2019s irresponsible, it\u2019ll make inflation much worse. It will badly hurt middle class Americans,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<p>In the Senate race, polls show a close race between Fetterman and Oz. The Democrat&#8217;s debate performance shocked some viewers and sowed concerns among party leaders. A day later, he delivered a smooth 13-minute stump speech in Pittsburgh as his campaign tried to downplay Tuesday&#8217;s performance, saying Fetterman has always been lousy at debates and that the closed-captioning system he used as an aid was faulty.<\/p>\n<p>Ravi Balu, a dentist who is the party\u2019s vice chair in Westmoreland County, in western Pennsylvania, heard from a number of friends who were worried or surprised by Fetterman\u2019s performance. He said he told them that, whatever Fetterman\u2019s lingering issues from the stroke, that he will recover and will always be more \u201crelatable\u201d to regular people than Oz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a thing he took a big risk on,\u201d Balu said. \u201cBut I also think he got a lot of the sympathy from people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House stressed again this week that Biden &#8211; through his personal conversations with the lieutenant governor &#8211; believes Fetterman is physically capable to serve in public office, and cited analyses from independent medical experts who have said his halting speech did not indicate an issue with his cognitive functions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohn IS Pennsylvania,\u201d Biden said Friday, adding: \u201cJohn leaves nobody behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden viewed parts of the Tuesday night debate and \u201cthought Lt. Governor John Fetterman did great,\u201d White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in an e-mail Friday.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Fetterman\u2019s campaign and national Democratic groups are directing attention elsewhere and pouring money into TV ads with a debate clip of Oz in which he says \u201cI want women, doctors, local political leaders\u201d to decide the fate of a woman\u2019s right to an abortion.<\/p>\n<p>The statement \u2014 which spread rapidly across social media immediately after the debate \u2014 was meant to frame Oz&#8217;s opposition to a federal ban that would pare back abortion access in Pennsylvania, even though he opposes abortion. But Democrats say it&#8217;s proof that Oz wants politicians in doctors\u2019 offices and exam rooms with women.<\/p>\n<p>Biden brought up the moment on Friday, and his puzzled look over the comments were greeted with a huge laugh from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou heard it right: \u2018local political leaders,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cLook the bottom line is this, if Republicans gain control of Congress and pass a national ban on abortion, I will veto it. But if we elect to the Senate two more Democrats and keep control of the house, we&#8217;re going to codify Roe v. Wade in January so it&#8217;s the law of the land.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s approval ratings are sagging in Pennsylvania similarly to the rest of the nation, begging the question of whether his presence is good for Democrats in a year when Republicans have political winds at their back.<\/p>\n<p>But Biden won heavily in 2020 in Philadelphia and its four suburban \u201ccollar\u201d counties \u2014 including winning over Republican moderates \u2014 and that boosted him to victory over former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic president likely remains popular there.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic political strategist Mark Nevins said that energizing voters in Philadelphia and its heavily populated suburbs \u2014 home to one in three registered Pennsylvania voters \u2014 \u201cis a cornerstone to a Democratic win in Pennsylvania in the Senate race and in the governor\u2019s race, and frankly in some of these suburban races as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even if there is some debate about whether Biden can help on the campaign trail, \u201cthe one area that\u2019s a constant is his ability to help raise funds. Presidents can help there. There\u2019s no debate that they\u2019ll take the help of a president in fundraising in these very costly races,\u201d said Christopher Borick, a political <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> professor and pollster at Muhlenberg College in Allentown.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also has treated Pennsylvania as something of a home base.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s where he spent part of his childhood, it\u2019s where he\u2019s campaigned countless times for himself and other Democrats and it\u2019s where Democrats called him \u201cPennsylvania\u2019s third senator\u201d during his 36 years in the Senate from next door in Delaware.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
