PHILADELPHIA — If a president's most precious commodity is time, there is no place more valuable politically for the White House this midterm year than Pennsylvania.
The White House has showered attention on the Keystone State — Joe Biden’s birthplace — in the final run-up to Nov. 8, with the president returning Friday for his 15th visit since he took office and officials preparing for another visit next week.
The open Senate seat in the commonwealth has for months been the most likely pickup opportunity for Democrats in the evenly divided Senate, but as prospects darken for Democratic incumbents elsewhere, a win in Pennsylvania is becoming an even more urgent insurance policy for the party to cling to Senate control.
Mr. Biden’s latest attempt to prop up Democratic nominee John Fetterman will be at a fundraising dinner for the state Democratic Party, where he’ll speak along with Vice President Kamala Harris, top party officials and the leading candidates on the midterm ballot in this presidential battleground state.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette hasn't given an endorsement on the Fetterman-Oz race yet.
Thank you President Biden for supporting our Democratic candidates in Pennsylvania.
