Virginia Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger shied away from the idea of President Biden's help on the campaign trail as she takes on one of the most competitive races of the midterm elections.
Spanberger's newly drawn 7th district is considered a toss-up and Fox News' Dana Perino asked the moderate Democrat whether she'd call in a favor from the president as Democrats fight an uphill battle to hold on to the House.
'Do you think you'll have President Biden come campaign with you in that district?' Perino asked Tuesday. 'I intend to do the campaigning myself. I am the candidate, it's my name on the ballot.'
Spanberger also refused to commit to supporting a Biden-Harris ticket in 2024. 'I'm looking squarely toward 2022 and the reelection ahead of me,' she said.
Pressed if Biden was best positioned out of Democrats to take on Trump, the congresswoman said: ''Ive been very clear that i think there are incredible leaders across the Democratic Party and that it is time to usher in new leadership.'
Biden and his top aides are 'irritated' by the cold reception his expected 2024 re-election bid has received from fellow Democrats and the media, according to the New York Times.
Biden and his team see perceptions that he is a 'lame duck' less than halfway
