Democrats, Republicans Make Urgent Final Pitches as Election Season Wraps
Fetterman was introduced by Bernie Hall, Pennsylvania's steelworkers union official, who acknowledged that some steelworkers vote Republican. That's despite the union’s regular endorsements of Democrats at the top of tickets.
And in yet another hotly contested swing state, Arizona, Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly also tried to strike a moderate tone. He praised the state’s late Republican senator, John McCain, while noting that he didn’t ask Biden to campaign with him but would “welcome the president to come here at any point.”
“We’re up against some of the darkest forces we’ve ever seen in our history," Biden told Democrats at a virtual reception Monday afternoon. “These MAGA Republicans are a different breed of cat.” None of that has deterred Trump from considering announcing a third presidential run at virtually any time — perhaps even Monday evening — but had not made a final decision, according to people familiar with his thinking. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly by name.
Republican officials and some people in Trump’s orbit have urged him to wait until after the midterms to avoid turning the election into a referendum on him while shielding him from blame should Republicans -- especially candidates he endorsed -- not do as well as expected. But even people who had pushed for waiting now say those concerns are moot given that Election Day is here.
