Opinion by E.J. Dionne Jr.: Biden and Obama have spent 14 years as the twin guardians of their party’s coalition, each drawing on the other’s strengths to balance his weaknesses.

Before thousands of raucous supporters on Saturday afternoon on the Temple University campus, Biden delivered an especially fiery defense of his record and Obama made clear he knows what his old ally is going through.

Shapiro is a button-down-looking guy who makes quite a contrast with Fetterman’s hoodie and shorts or sweats look. But Shapiro displays passion on the stump, and he made good use of his moment of national attention Saturday with a driving riff on his opponent’s — and by extension the GOP’s — misunderstanding of what “freedom” means.

Felled by a stroke just days before he won his primary, Fetterman turned in a feisty performance. The fact that he’s still ahead of Oz in at least some surveys after a debate in which the effects of the stroke were painfully obvious encourages his backers to make resilience a calling card. “There’s no quit in John Fetterman,” Biden declared.

Fetterman’s biggest challenges will be securing a large enough turnout in Democratic Philadelphia — the point of the rally — and getting enough moderate Republican-leaning voters who already back Shapiro to break with their party twice, which often proves difficult.Pennsylvania embodies both the good news and bad news for Democrats this year.

The larger frustration is that in the campaigns they ran together, Obama and Biden pointed toward the possibility of bringing together a durable Democratic coalition — of Black voters, Latinos, metro-area moderates and progressives, and a significant share of the White working class. That coalition suffered repeated setbacks and was shattered in 2016. No matter what happens on Tuesday, it remains an audacious but unfulfilled hope.

That's why Obama always considered Biden a fool.

USA politics Defense League... Evangelists are literalists especially if it helps them consolidate white privilege. Repugnican's real agenda is white control and entitlement. What a coincidence that they gang up together!

Neolibs have totally ruined what was left of the party

They didn't do such a great job this year.

USA politics Ethnic Wars! Evangelists are literalists especially if it helps them consolidate white privilege. Repugnican's real agenda is white control and entitlement. What a coincidence that they gang up together!

Strange Fetterman didn’t hold Obama at gunpoint like he did the last black man who was in his neighborhood.

To back a criminal loving communist who can’t complete a sentence. That’s one way to make themselves look better.

Americans don’t like Bidens economy democrat

“Biden brought to Obama’s campaigns and presidency decades of experience that the dynamic political upstart did not have — and a connection to White working-class Democrats that Obama needed in 2008.”

Lol, Obama hates Biden!

🤮

Why does Fetterman look like he just came in off the street? If you want to be a Senator at least try to look the part.

Joe Biden’s only real strength is running against Donald Trump which makes him Abraham Lincoln and George Washington combined.

Headline gore...

The fact is they're both too decent, too intellectual to really tackle the lawless menace the MAGA GOP now is.

What a group 😂

Lol 😂😆😂😆😂😆😂😆😂😆

'Biden's strengths.'
