Biden finds few friends on campaign trail

President Joe Biden says he wants to spend more time outside the White House in 2022, but if it’s to hit the campaign trail, he may have a difficult time filling his schedule ahead of the midterm elections.

Several high-profile Democratic candidates have already skipped out on appearing with Biden, including Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Pennsylvania Democrats John Fetterman and Josh Shapiro. Texas gubernatorial hopeful Beto O’Rourke has said he’s “not interested” in help from Biden, and Florida Senate candidate Val Demings answered that she was “running [her] race” when asked if she wanted Biden to campaign with her.
