President Joe Biden has made just two endorsements in Democratic primary races for House seats this year, drawing a contrast with his predecessor while showing limited influence with his party’s voters.
One of Biden’s picks, incumbent Representative Shontel Brown, handily defeated a more liberal challenger in a Cleveland, Ohio, district. The other, seven-term Representative Kurt Schrader of Oregon, looks likely to lose to a progressive challenger.
