Two statewide Democratic candidates in Pennsylvania will not be on hand for President Joe Biden’s visit to Pittsburgh on Friday, as low approval ratings make the president a liability in the midterms, The Associated Press reported on Thursday.
Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is running for U.S. Senate in 2022, and state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor the same year, will not attend due to “scheduling conflicts,” their spokespeople told AP.
Fetterman said he would miss Biden’s visit to attend the Democratic state committee, which begins Friday in Harrisburg.
“It’s great that President Biden is coming to Pittsburgh to talk about infrastructure,” Fetterman said. But he said he’ll be in Harrisburg to talk to Democrats about the midterms.
Another Democratic Senate candidate, Rep. Conor Lamb, confirmed that he would attend the gathering.
“President Biden first announced his infrastructure plan in Pittsburgh, and Conor looks forward to welcoming him back and talking about all the good jobs that bill will create in the Pittsburgh area and all over Pennsylvania,” said Lamb campaign manager Abby Nassif-Murphy.
The absences of Fetterman and Shapiro come as Democrats have begun to distance themselves from Biden, whose average approval rating stands at 41.5% and disapproval rating above 53.6% among likely or registered voters, according to FiveThirtyEight.
The two have indicated that politics had no bearing on their decisions. Shapiro made three appearances with Biden last summer and fall when the president’s approval rating was over 50%.
“Josh Shapiro is running to be the governor of Pennsylvania, and he’s focused on the issues that matter to Pennsylvania families,” the attorney general’s spokesperson, Will Simons, told AP.
“Like every American should, Josh wants our president to be successful, and we’ll continue welcoming President Biden to his home state of Pennsylvania,” Simons said.

‘Scheduling Conflicts’ to Keep Democratic Candidates From Biden’s Pa. Visit
No one wants to be seen with this half dead POS, and it’s just more proof that this fool was not voted in but installed by the deep state.
And the rats are jumping off the sinking ship!
I believe the sinking ship you are thinking about is the TITANIC!!!!!
I hope it sinks fast and takes pedo Biden and Harris to the bottom with it! Like the Titanic!
Do not forget Nazi Nancy and Chucky Schumer!!!!
Yes! Both these dirtbags need to go!
Their excuses are priceless😅😅😅
I hope that disgusting dirtbag don’t ever come to Indiana! He is not wanted or welcome here!
I guess when he went to Minnesota last fall he got very rude awakening. It looked like Minnesota Nice was not to nice to this Giant Load of Horse Pucky. The school he was to have his press conference or should we say Dog and Pony Show they sent mass email not to show up for class that day. They bussed in a whole bunch of people from the Twin Cities that protested him!!!!!!!! They even had the FJB chant going down the road has his limo was driving thru the area.
What we all as free Legal American voters should do in the 2022 ands 2024 elections is to “dump every CHEATER Criminal Democrat Party Mob national officials all across our America and it will solve all of our problems we have with CHEATER Joe Biden and their political party”!!!! It also will provide us all with a “veto-proof Republican Congress!!! American voter “common sense rides again”!!!!
