Swing-state Pennsylvania is the stage for a clash of presidents on Saturday as each party's biggest stars work to energize voters just days before voting concludes in high-stakes midterm elections across the country.
Former President Barack Obama opens the day at a Pittsburgh rally with Democratic Senate hopeful John Fetterman, the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor who represents his party's best chance to flip a Republican-held Senate seat on Tuesday. Obama and Fetterman will appear alongside President Joe Biden and gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro later in the day in Philadelphia.
Former President Donald Trump, meanwhile, will finish the day courting voters in a working-class region in the southwestern corner of Pennsylvania with Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz and gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. And while Democrats feel good about the Pennsylvania governor's race, they enter the weekend deeply concerned about their narrow congressional majorities as voters sour on Biden's leadership amid surging inflation, crime concerns and widespread pessimism about the direction of the country.
Pennsylvania has largely transitioned away from coal, but fossil fuel companies remain a major employer in the state. Despite his challenges, Fetterman has relentlessly attacked Oz over his opposition to abortion rights and castigated the former New Jersey resident as an ultrawealthy carpetbagger who will say or do anything to get elected. Oprah Winfrey, who elevated Oz on her TV show, endorsed Fetterman on Thursday.
