Joe Biden is making a three-state swing out west this week. He visited Colorado yesterday. He’s arriving in California today and then he’ll stop in Oregon.
The midterm strategy for the broadly unpopular president is to promote his administration’s accomplishments.
He’ll try to rally the party faithful.
Although Democrats remain strong in California, an independent candidate for governor in Oregon may capture enough votes in the gubernatorial race to put a Republican in the Oregon governor’s mansion for the first time in decades. Not since governor Victor Atiyeh in the 80’s.
Although the Democrat’s gubernatorial candidate is a lesbian from Pennsylvania, the Republican candidate – Christine Drazan, is leading in the polls. She is now supported by Phil Knight, the founder of NIKE.
