President Joe Biden was the warm-up act for former President Barack Obama as the two Demorats rallied for Pennsylvania Senate hopeful John Fetterman and gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro in Philadelphia Saturday evening.Â
The foursome walked onstage and joined hands – to the tune of Coldplay’s A Sky Full of Stars, Beau Biden’s favorite song – with Biden kicking off the program, and trolling former President Donald Trump at the top.Â
He boasted that the crowd assembled at Temple University’s Liacouras Center was so loud it could be heard ‘all the way to Latrobe,’ where Trump is holding his own rally in support of Fetterman’s rival, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Shapiro’s, Doug Mastriano.Â
Biden then smacked around Oz for being a carpetbagger, as the TV doctor lived in New Jersey until recently.Â
‘Oz – in Pennsylvania?’ Biden asked the screaming crowd.Â
‘I’ve lived in Pennsylvania longer than Oz has lived in Pennsyvania,’ the president said. ‘And I moved away when I was 10 years old,’ Biden remarked.Â

‘Oz – in Pennsylvania?’ Biden asked the screaming crowd. ‘I’ve lived in Pennsylvania longer than Oz has lived in Pennsyvania. And I moved away when I was 10 years old,’ the president told the Philadelphia crowdÂ
Biden was born in Scranton and then moved to Delaware, a state he represented for 36 years in the U.S. Senate.Â
The presidential double feature comes as polls have gotten increasingly close in the Fetterman/Oz Senate race.Â
‘There’s no quit in John Fetterman… There’s no quit in America,’ Biden told the crowd.Â
The Real Clear Politics polling average now gives Oz an edge, but by just .1 percent.Â
Shapiro’s race against Mastriano will be an easier feat for Democrats on Tuesday, as the party looks very likely to lose control of the House of Representatives and somewhat likely to also lose control of the Senate.Â

The rally was scheduled so that it would wrap up before the Phillies played the Astros in Game Six of the World Series.Â
Earlier Saturday, Obama appeared with Fetterman on the University of Pittsburgh’s campus in the Oakland neighborhood.
The Fetterman campaign estimated about 6,500 – with 1,000 in overflow – gathered outside Pitt’s Cathedral of Learning for the afternoon rally.Â
‘If someone is willing to peddle snake oil to make a buck, then he’s probably willing to sell us snake oil to get elected,’ Obama warned of Oz.Â
