Biden and Fetterman (D-Pa.) first appeared together on Thursday at the Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh. The two appeared at that location to tout the Biden administration’s infrastructure victories. The bridge collapsed about nine months ago. Biden made a statement announcing the bridge was on schedule to be rebuilt entirely by the end of the year thanks to his infrastructure bill.

America is the only country in the world that comes out of a crisis stronger than we went in.
Pennsylvania’s Fern Hollow Bridge tells that story.
From collapse to reinvention, our infrastructure funding will make this bridge, and the community it serves, stronger. pic.twitter.com/6UYgIyJPyQ

“The result,” Biden said. “Pennsylvania has been able to rebuild Fern Hollow Bridge in less than a year, and by Christmas, God willing, we’ll be walking –I’m coming back to walk over this sucker.”

Biden and Fetterman are now set to head to a Democrat fundraiser in Philadelphia.

In the recent months, Fetterman has taken heat about whether he is fit to serve office after continuing to exhibit symptoms from a stroke he suffered in May.

The tight race between Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz could determine which party controls the Senate.
