.LGMandelaBarnes grasps for BarackObama and Democratic cavalry as he trails in Wisconsin: Report
Behind the scenes, Barnes's campaign contacted Obama’s team to ask him to stump for him on the campaign trail, two sources told Politico. His allies have reportedly mulled having Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Bernie Sanders , President Joe Biden, and Rep. Ro Khanna go to bat for him as well.
Wisconsin Democrats have also been in touch with Harris and Sanders, though it is not clear whether either will ultimately stump for him, according to the report. They have reportedly been in various stages of planning a visit to the state from Sanders and Harris.Sanders has been eyeing a trip to Wisconsin in the midterm homestretch, keen on shoring up the slim tiebreaker Democratic majority in the Senate.
Ironically, Barnes skipped out on an appearance with Biden during his trip to Wisconsin last month. Biden has suffered from lackluster approval ratings, which have fomented an apparent unease among Democrats in tight races from campaigning with him.
