Ted Cruz (R-TX) in 2018, and a failed&nbsp;presidential bid in 2020 \u2014&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/24\/beto-orourke-joe-biden-stay-away-me\/\">said<\/a> during a press conference&nbsp;he has \u201cno interest\u201d in receiving help from Biden or any Washington, D.C. politician during his campaign for governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not interested in any national politician \u2014 anyone outside of Texas \u2014 coming into this state to help decide the outcome of this,\u201d O\u2019Rourke said at a news conference.&nbsp;\u201cI think we all want to make sure that we\u2019re working with, listening to, and voting with one another here in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>In Pennsylvania last month, two Democrat candidates holding statewide office were no-shows for Biden when he visited the state. Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman (D), a leading contender for the open U.S. Senate seat, and&nbsp;state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a&nbsp;leading contender in the gubernatorial race,&nbsp;cited a&nbsp;scheduling conflict for their reasons to not greet the President on his arrival to the Keystone State, PolticsPA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politicspa.com\/fetterman-shapiro-to-skip-biden-visit-to-pa\/99622\/\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/dems-stiff-biden-polls-598a1ecd-886d-487c-9578-7ec8199608d9.html\">reported<\/a> last week that swing district House and Senate candidates avoid mentioning \u201cBiden\u201d or \u201c@POTUS\u201d on social media accounts for their campaigns.&nbsp;The report noted that&nbsp;Abby Finkenauer, who\u2019s running for Senate in Iowa, and Rep. Val Demings (D-FL), who\u2019s running for Senate in Florida, have avoided tweeting anything with the President\u2019s name in it.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, vulnerable House Democrats have also avoided mentioning the President\u2019s name on campaign account since September 1, the day after Biden finished his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to data reviewed by Axios. Since then, the data showed Reps. Cindy Axne (D-IA),&nbsp;Sharice Davids (D-KS), Jared Golden (D-ME), Jahana Hayes (D-CT), and&nbsp;Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) have not used \u201cBiden\u201d or \u201c@POTUS.\u201d However,&nbsp;Reps. Andy Kim (D-NJ) and Antonio Delgado (D-NY) have only mentioned the President when urging him to act on a specific issue. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) did mention Biden by name but only in a \u201cretweet\u201d of a video on Twitter talking about the passing of a bill.<\/p>\n<p>All of this comes as Biden has seen some of his lowest poll numbers as President. A&nbsp;January&nbsp;Quinnipiac <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/12\/poll-record-low-33-percent-approve-of-bidens-job-performance\/\">poll<\/a> showed Biden\u2019s approval numbers have dropped to only 33 percent with&nbsp;adult citizens, which also beats former President Donald Trump\u2019s&nbsp;worst approval <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/328637\/last-trump-job-approval-average-record-low.aspx\">rating<\/a> by one point.<\/p>\n<p>The same poll showed that Biden only&nbsp;25 percent of the independents supported&nbsp;approved of Biden\u2019s job performance, while 58 percent of the&nbsp;independents disapproved.<\/p>\n<p><i>Jacob Bliss is a reporter for Breitbart News.
