Not Even Barack Obama Can Draw a Crowd Like Donald Trump

But seriously, it was only a few weeks ago that Joe Biden declared, “I am the Democratic Party right now,” during the first debate with President Trump, and now he’s begging his former boss to help close the deal for him.

And where did Barack Obama go? Did Joe Biden send him to Georgia, where some polls claim Biden is performing well and even better than Trump? Or what about Texas? Democrat operatives keep talking about Texas being competitive this year. Turnout in blue cities could be bolstered by Barack Obama coming to town to rally the party faithful.

Nope, Joe Biden sent Barack Obama to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sure, Pennsylvania may be a battleground state, but most polls show Joe Biden with a healthy lead there. Also, Joe Biden has coopted Pennsylvania as his home state, and he can barely go five minutes without referencing the short period of his childhood when he lived in Scranton. So why is it that with just two weeks left in the election Joe Biden is sending Barack Obama to Pennsylvania, of all states? To me, that sounds like the Biden campaign isn’t confident about the state.
