Biden campaigns for heavily favored Democrat on eve of 'most important' election
President Biden will spend Election Day eve campaigning for a Democrat running for governor in Maryland who is up by 30 points in the latest polls, instead of several other candidates in much tighter races across the country that could determine which party controls the House and Senate.
Biden over the weekend called the midterm “one of the most important elections. One of the most important elections in our lifetime.”
But on Monday, Biden will leave the candidates in tight races on their own and instead will campaign for Wes Moore, the Democratic candidate for Maryland governor who appears set to coast to a victory on Tuesday.
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN SLAMS BIDEN’S MIDTERM CLOSING ARGUMENT: ‘IT WAS A MISTAKE’
Moore will hold a rally Monday night that will be attended by the president, first lady and several prominent Maryland Democrats. Biden’s appearance comes as the latest poll places Moore 31 percentage points ahead of his Republican opponent, Dan Cox. FiveThirtyEight, the polling data website, gives Moore a more than 99% chance of winning the race to replace moderate Republican Gov. Larry Hogan.
The rally marks the last campaign event for Biden before Election Day. The president has traveled for campaign events in largely blue areas over the past week, including New York, Illinois and California. The exception to this trend was Pennsylvania, where he appeared in an event with Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, who is in a tight race with Mehmet Oz.

Moore, a bestselling author and progressive activist, won a tight Democratic primary earlier this year, then received prominent endorsements in the general election, most notably from former President Barack Obama. Cox, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, won a tight Republican primary matchup over Kelly Schulz, who was endorsed by Hogan.
The Maryland governor race, which is expected to be a seamless victory for Democrats, has received significant national involvement. The Democratic Governors Association funded ads in support of Cox during the primary, part of an effort to boost Trump-endorsed candidates, who they believed would be more vulnerable in the general election.
Kuster, Burns focus on inflation, abortion in race for New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District
U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster said her Republican challenger was concealing his position on abortion legislation, while Robert Burns accused the five-term Democratic incumbent of not doing enough in Congress to deal with rising costs during their second and final debate Friday.
The two candidates for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District agreed during their WMUR-TV debate on tax exemptions and credits for people who are making their homes more energy efficient, but differed on the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program for families.
Burns, who runs a quality control and pharmaceutical safety company, said he would not support the program. “What we need to do is lower the cost of energy for everybody, not just a select few that are going to get a $500 voucher,” he said. Kuster supports the program and asked for more money.
In bringing down costs overall, Kuster said she believes in a multi-pronged approach, including the production of lower-cost food closer to home. Burns said he is in favor of opening up more gasoline production in the United States and building new plants to process diesel fuel.
“The Biden administration was in complete denial over the inflation and the oncoming economic disaster that we’re heading towards right now,” Burns said. “She’s been in there for 10 years. They haven’t been able to take care of these problems.”
Kuster responded that New Hampshire is “woefully behind” neighboring states in using solar energy. She said she was pleased about the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes investment in renewable energy.
“We can’t keep chasing oil and gas and pipelines forever,” she said.
Burns said Congress should have been working on investing in nuclear power and advancing battery technology years ago, but now, “it’s a little late.”
“But why is the state dragging their feet on the net-metering? That’s a big problem here,” Kuster said.
“Are you running for governor or Congress?” Burns said.
On the subject of abortion, Burns, who is pro-life, said he supports a federal “heartbeat bill” banning abortion at 12 to 15 weeks. He said he has always agreed there should be an exception for the life of the mother.

Kuster, who supports the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would protect the right to access abortion care nationwide after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, said Burns was attempting to change his position.
She said Burns has described himself as “100 percent pro-life at conception” and that Republicans in Congress are sponsoring a bill that would ban abortion at conception. She said the legislation that Burns supports would criminalize abortion, putting women and doctors in jail.
“Well, of course, that’s completely untrue,” Burns, adding, “this is absolute fear-mongering.”

On other topics, both candidates disagreed with a decision by Florida’s governor to pay for flights from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard that carried migrants who entered the country illegally. They also were against the setup of immigration checkpoints on New Hampshire highways.
