President Joe Biden is going to Pennsylvania again
President Joe Biden speaks during an event in the Rose Garden of the White House, Oct. 11, 2023, in Washington.

Getting the public's attention could be a tall order given the focus on fighting and atrocities in Gaza and the Americans among those being held hostage by Hamas.entering its fifth week. On top of all that, the president's son, Hunter, is facing federal gun charges and Biden himself recently sat for interviewsAny struggle to shift attention to Biden's domestic agenda highlights larger questions about the president's overall reelection strategy and whether messaging primarily built around the president's“Will the country care? In the political class, in the news-absorbing part of the population, nationally? No,” Cathal Nolan, director of the International History Institute at Boston University and the author of several books on diplomatic and military history, said of Biden’s hydrogen production announcement. “But I don’t think that’s what infrastructure speeches are about, ever," Nolan added."I think it’s about the local impact.”even in a time of crisis and focusing on how the government is improving middle-class lives as he heads into a, which will see the president, Vice President Kamala Harris and key Cabinet members travel the country to promote economic policies. Biden heads to Colorado on Monday. “When there’s an international crisis, you’ve got to be leading,” said Joel Rubin, who was an Obama administration State Department official and a veteran of Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign. “The fact that he’s going to continue to be out there demonstrates leadership.” Friday's trip notwithstanding, Biden has made the situation in Gaza a priority, speaking frequently with his foreign advisers and with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He met with Jewish community leaders at the White House this week and has said that “the U.S. has Israel’s back” while decrying the “sheer evil” of Islamic militants.Rubin said the Biden administration has championed a"foreign policy for the middle class," which emphasizes domestic economic and industrial strength and“Communicating why his policy is working for the American people economically ... that undergirds American national power overseas.

Biden's reelection campaign has joined the White House in stressing that being president always means juggling multiple pressing concerns. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, “The president has to do multiple things at once." She noted that Biden “has been engaged in the horrific situation in Israel” but, in Philadelphia,"He’s going to continue to talk about what he’s doing to bring back manufacturing, to create good-paying jobs.”Still, selling Biden's economic agenda to voters wasn't easy even before the outbreak of war in Gaza. Just 36% of U.S. adults approved of Biden's handling of the economy in August, slightly lower than the 42% who approved of his overall performance,Whatever the message, the president can help himself politically Friday just by staying focused on Pennsylvania, said longtime Democratic strategist Robert Shrum. “If he wins the state he's very likely to win reelection,” Shrum said. “So they can do the event in Philadelphia and get a lot of attention for it.” Biden appears to be betting on that strategy, heaping Pennsylvania with attention that has included a visit per month recently — acutely aware that it is one of a few toss-up states where outcomes can really sway the election, along with Georgia and Arizona, as well as perhaps Wisconsin and Michigan.after they jointly endorsed him in June, the only 2024 campaign rally he's held so far.
