Top Pennsylvania Dems can’t meet Biden due to scheduling conflict

Two top Democrats in Pennsylvania running for high office said they will miss President Biden during the president's stop in Pittsburgh on Friday due to scheduling conflicts-- just weeks after Stacey Abrams, the Georgia gubernatorial candidate, cited the same reason.

Fetterman is running for Senate and Shapiro is the likely Democratic nominee for governor, according to the Associated Press. The AP report pointed out that their"high-profile absences come as Democrats in other states have begun taking modest steps to distance themselves from the first-term president, whose approval ratings have fallen sharply in recent months."

The report said leading Pennsylvania Democrats, who are not on the ballot this year, did not have the same scheduling conflicts. The offices for Fetterman and Shapiro did not immediately respond to after-hours emails from Fox News.
