Biden, Harris Not Welcome on the Campaign Trail

WFB

Democratic candidates across the country are increasingly reluctant to associate themselves with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite asking voters to send them to Washington so they can vote in support of the Biden-Harris agenda, Democrats in swing states want nothing to do with the historically unpopular leaders of their party.

Cheri Beasley, the Democrat running for Senate in North Carolina, is the latest candidate to give a mealy mouthed response when asked about the prospect of inviting Biden or Harris to join her on the campaign trail. “You know, I’m not aware of what their schedules are,” Beasley said on Wednesday. “We are 62 days away from Election Day. And so we’re going to continue to run our race here in North Carolina.”

The candidate’s lack of enthusiasm echoes that of several other Democrats running in close races. A spokeswoman for Rep. Tim Ryan (D., Ohio), who is running for Senate against Republican J.D. Vance, told the Washington Post that Ryan “wants to be the face of this campaign” and does not plan to invite Biden or Harris to campaign on his behalf. Sen. Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.) deflected by suggesting “anyone” is welcome to “come to Arizona and let me, you know, show them around the state.” Sen. Michael Bennet’s (D., Colo.) campaign had “no comment.” more
