Gov. John Fetterman (D) and state Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Josh Shapiro (D) in Philadelphia on Saturday, while Trump will host a rally for GOP Senate candidate Mehmet Oz and state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R), the party\u2019s gubernatorial candidate, on the other side of the state in Latrobe.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The campaign swings come amid signs the Senate race is tightening considerably. Polling from Emerson College and The Hill released on Thursday showed Oz leading Fetterman in a post-debate poll, painting a picture of growing momentum for Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>But while Saturday\u2019s events are key for the candidates on the ballot next week, the importance is also heightened for those who may be squaring off once again two years from now as Pennsylvania has become ground zero for the fight between Biden and Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at all of the swing states \u2026 Pennsylvania is really the biggest,\u201d former Gov. Ed Rendell (D) said in an interview. \u201cIt is a good microcosm of the election. \u2026 I think Pennsylvania is the best test. It\u2019s the biggest prize and it\u2019s going to be purple for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden famously secured the presidency the Saturday after the election in 2020 by winning the Keystone State\u2019s 20 electoral votes, which Trump had nabbed four years before. However, times have changed, and so has Biden\u2019s standing in the Commonwealth. According to the Emerson College Polling-The Hill survey, only 39 percent of likely voters <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\">app<\/a>rove of the job he\u2019s done in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, too much Joe Biden,\u201d said one national Republican strategist when asked about the visit. \u201cNobody needs anymore Joe Biden. Wrong message. Wrong messenger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t imagine how that\u2019s helping anybody in Pennsylvania if you\u2019re a Democrat,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But Democrats argue that there is much value to having Obama and Biden on the same stage ahead of Election Day, especially for galvanizing the Democratic base in strongholds like Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are going to see the Obama-Biden duo again,\u201d one Democratic operative told The Hill. \u201cThat\u2019s a valuable image.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The timing is also important for Trump, who may launch a third presidential bid only days after the midterm elections wrap up. To his supporters, Tuesday will provide a snapshot of how voters view him by proxy.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very important. He\u2019s going to see, \u2018Do I still have it?\u2019 and he\u2019s going to see that around the nation with the people that he endorsed,\u201d said Rob Gleason, the former chairman of the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, a Trump ally. \u201cIf there\u2019s a Republican wave, he will take credit for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The location of the appearances also isn\u2019t a surprise. Biden and Obama will campaign in Philadelphia, a longtime deep-blue bastion that helped hand both individuals the White House. However, widespread crime in the city has presented issues for the party, with Oz and national Republicans messaging on that issue heavily in the final three months.<\/p>\n<p>As for Trump, his stop in western Pennsylvania is aimed at boosting turnout among rural voters that are considered crucial for Oz on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cFetterman probably needs some Biden voters, but Oz needs Trump voters more than Fetterman needs Biden voters,\u201d said one Pennsylvania-based GOP operative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis one is an important one, but he doesn\u2019t really own losses like the way a traditional politician does,\u201d that operative said of the importance of the race for Trump. \u201cBut Oz is his. Oz is the nominee because of him. \u2026 If Oz can\u2019t come across the finish line, there\u2019s going to be some blame on Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite Biden\u2019s poor approval rating, Democrats are welcoming his appearance in the City of Brotherly Love, especially alongside Obama in a push to boost African American turnout on Tuesday. Rendell noted that getting that bloc to the polls is a concern of his heading into Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>However, they believe that Trump\u2019s appearance in the state can only be a net positive for the party in power. While the ex-president played a key role in getting Oz over the hump in the May primary against David McCormick, his presence has been notably limited since then as Oz has shifted his focus to winning voters in the Philadelphia suburbs, which is ripe with moderates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnytime there\u2019s focus on Trump, it benefits our side of the aisle,\u201d said Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), who is one of the two Philadelphia-based members of Congress. \u201cI personally know Republicans who hope he remains banned from <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> because they know that the more visible Trump is, the better for Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even moreso than Trump, Democrats are trying to tie Republicans across the ticket to Mastriano, who Republicans routinely have panned for having one of the worst campaigns on the 2022 map. The Pennsylvania-based GOP operative predicted that Mastriano will lose to Shapiro by between 7 and 12 points, creating issues for Oz and down-ballot congressional candidates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think that the Oz team and the ecosystem have done a really good job at separating him from Mastriano,\u201d the operative said, adding that any Shapiro lead over 10 percent \u201cstarts to get troubling\u201d for Oz.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
