BRYN MAWR, Penn. (AP) — President Joe Biden has made a rare jump into the 2024 battleground political fray since ending his reelection bid. He campaigned Tuesday night in Pennsylvania for a close ally and visited Wisconsin earlier in the day to spotlight a signature legislative achievement. But as Biden made a quick swing through the key states, two Democratic senators locked in competitive reelection battles were taking markedly different approaches to the outgoing president. Biden was fully embraced by Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey at an evening campaign fundraiser in Philadelphia. But in Milwaukee, where Biden spotlighted his administration’s efforts to replace the nation’s toxic lead pipes, incumbent Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin was conspicuously absent.
