On Sunday, Cardin will kick off the campaign's 'Florida Forums for Change' with a discussion on baby boomer retirement security in Port St. Lucie. On Monday, he will host events with the Jewish Community in Delray Beach and Coconut Creek.

Cardin remained neutral throughout the long primary season, endorsing the Illinois senator in June. Since then, he has taken an active role with the campaign, specifically in appeals to his fellow Jewish voters.

U.S. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Mechanicsville), U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Baltimore) and U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Baltimore) joined the Korean War Veterans Association on Thursday to celebrate the enactment of legislation that grants the group a Federal Charter.

The trio was also joined by U.S. Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas).

“The Korean War is often referred to as the ‘forgotten’ war, and recognition of our veterans from this war is long overdue,” said Cardin in a statement. “This Federal Charter lets the nearly 1.2 million American veterans of the Korean War who are still alive know that we have not forgotten them, and we honor the sacrifice they made for our nation.”

Prior to praising McCain, the MDGOP took the opportunity to take a crack at some of its Democratic rivals.

“Senator Ben Cardin, Congressman Elijah Cummings, and Attorney General Doug Gansler were among the politicians present at a ‘Bash McCain’ press conference,” said MDGOP Chairman Jim Pelura in a statement. The three lawmakers attended a “McSame as Bush” news conference in Baltimore on Monday, in light of McCain’s visit to the state.

BALTIMORE – In advance of a visit from John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, three prominent Maryland Democrats spoke at a “McSame as Bush” press conference on Monday. U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Baltimore), U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Baltimore) and Maryland Attorney Gen. Doug Ganlser (D-Montgomery County) stood with members of the 1199SEIU and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

McCain (R-Ariz.) is set to attend a fundraiser in Baltimore tomorrow.

Cardin, who spoke first, asked McCain to listen to Marylander’s during his visit, and suggested McCain would only be in the state to fundraise.
