John Fetterman s Senate campaign on Friday released a new ad featuring former President Barack Obama , one day after President Joe Biden visited Pennsylvania to stump for the Democratic candidate.

In the 30-second spot , Obama addresses Pennsylvania voters directly about the important choices theyll be making this year, including the fate of our democracy and a womans right to choose.

I know John will fight for Pennsylvanians, the 44th president concludes, endorsing the lieutenant governor for the Senate seat. You can count on John Fetterman; make sure he can count on you.

When the fate of our democracy and a womans right to choose are on the line, I know John will fight for Pennsylvanians.

The ad comes a day after Biden stumped for Fetterman at the Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh. The 52-year-old structure collapsed in January but is on track to be rebuilt by the end of the year with the help of funding allocated in Bidens bipartisan infrastructure bill , passed into law in 2021.

By Christmas, God willing, well be walking Im coming back to walk over this sucker, Biden said . When you see these projects in your neighborhoods, cranes going up, shovels in the ground, I want you to feel the way I feel: pride.

At a fundraising event later Thursday, Biden praised Fettermans integrity and follow-through.

You never have to wonder that he means what he says, Biden told the crowd .

Fetterman and Republican rival Mehmet Oz are scheduled to face off in a debate Tuesday, Oct. 25, ahead of Novembers midterm elections.
