Biden midterm campaign schedule nearly nonexistent as Trump rallies for Republicans across the country

With November’s midterm elections less than six weeks away, President Biden is aiming to boost his party as Democrats try to defend their razor-thin majorities in Congress and strive to pick up ground in the battle for the states.

"We’ve got to win. We have got to win," the president said to cheers from a crowd of supporters on Wednesday night. However, Biden’s comments did not come on the campaign trail. 

Instead, the president was in the nation’s capital, headlining a fundraising reception for the Democratic Governors Association. With his approval ratings rebounding but still in negative territory, Biden is campaigning far from the key swing states where the battle for the House and Senate is playing out, and instead is stumping from the White House, using the power of the bully pulpit, and filling a regular role for presidents – as fundraiser in chief for his party.
