Fetterman pushes Biden on marijuana in show of swing state Democrats' delicate dance

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : This makes him something of an outlier within his own party, as a Gallup poll from late 2020 found that 83% of Democrats support widespread marijuana legalization.
46% : "This is just common sense, and Pennsylvanians overwhelmingly support decriminalizing marijuana."
41% :"Fetterman barnstormed the state as lieutenant governor about legalizing marijuana," said Mallinson, who studies Pennsylvania politics and marijuana law.
35% : Fetterman, who is trying to flip a seat for Democrats in what's expected to be a strong Republican year, publicly challenged Biden to legalize marijuana federally on the same day he announced the pair would participate in Pittsburgh's Labor Day parade.
