Why Biden's quiet campaign season could help Democrats in November

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – With Democrats and Republicans evenly split in the U.S. Senate, the stakes are high for senate races in key toss-up states. 

Former President Trump is vocally supporting the candidates he favors. However, one big name is not leaning into these races as much; President Biden. Why? It likely comes down to Biden's popularity. 

For example, he is not popular in North Carolina, so that could play a role in why he has never campaigned with the Democratic candidate in the state.


With just over two weeks from election day, polls are neck and neck in key senate races in states like Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

"It’s been back and forth with them ahead, us ahead, them ahead," President Biden said at a news conference on Friday.
