President Joe Biden has met with Democratic candidates on the campaign trail but he's largely avoided stumping for his party's candidates in large campaign events, in stark contrast with the approach taken by his predecessors. Obama is going to speak at four Democratic rallies in the next week. It is not clear if the visit by Obama and Biden will involve large rallies.

Key Background

With less than two weeks to go until Election Day, the pendulum has swung back in favor of the GOP. Hope for flipping Republican-held Senate seats in states like Florida and North Carolina has all but disappeared as races that appeared safe for Democrats before Labor Day are now in doubt. A boost in Biden's approval ratings after he signed the Inflation Reduction Act in August is gone, and the president is in danger of having approval marks below 40% again. Republican candidates across the country are tying their Democratic opponents to Biden, who they blame for high rates of inflation and rising crime, issues the president has little control over. Republicans have been accused of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Biden's approval rating went up after a series of unexpected wins.

There are rare trousers for mid-term campaigns.

Trump wants to build a casino in Penn. There is a rally for struggling Oz and rest of his ticket.

Biden didn't mention Fetterman at the event.

The blue states are in play. The Republicans have a narrow gap in the governor's races.
