Fetterman pledged to fight for working people but struggled at times to articulate his views while Oz tried to claim the center lane politically but frequently dodged policy specifics, @JuliaTerruso & @JonathanTamari report.https://t.co/Das72jolRo via @phillyinquirer

Capitol Hill’s reaction to the Pennsylvania Senate debate was brutal for Democratic nominee John Fetterman, from Democrats and Republicans alike https://t.co/wcFU3rKIZ6

.@JohnFetterman has a clear record of public service and the empathy of a leader who understands this Commonwealth. He knows Pennsylvania, he cares about Pennsylvanians, and he’s going to be a great Senator. #PASenateDebate #PASen

Anyone watching today could tell there was only one person on that stage who can represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate: @droz.
It’s sad to see John Fetterman struggling so much. He should take more time to allow himself to fully recover. #pasenatedebate @abc27

John may have missed some words, but his message was loud and clear. John will fight for Pennsylvania – Dr. Oz will only fight for himself. #PASenateDebate

Fetterman wouldn’t commit to releasing his full medical records during a highly anticipated debate against Oz on Tuesday in the ABC27 Studios, speaking haltingly throughout the hourlong event more than five months after experiencing a stroke.https://t.co/MyyljG1gss

If Fetterman loses, his stroke will be one of the great political “What Ifs.”
So much in the country could swing based in significant part on a shock medical incident.

There is no amount of empathy for and understanding about Fetterman’s health and recovery that changes the fact that this is absolutely painful to watch.

John Fetterman’s ability to communicate is seriously impaired. Pennsylvania voters will be talking about this obvious fact even if many in the media will not.

During that debate, @UrsulaPerano was in a room of John Fetterman supporters in Erie, Pennsylvania, in case you wanted to know what that was like…https://t.co/IYdSsqMcmm pic.twitter.com/kKYQWVUkmV

If Pennsylvania, the Christian church, and Evangelicals could get behind Trump, after he talked crap on our men and women in uniform as being suckers, poked fun out of a disabled journalist, tore down war hero and senator John McCain, and claimed on a hot microphone that he grabbed married women inappropriately, then we the voters of Pennsylvania can still get behind John Fetterman and we should ! Remember fellow Christian voters, pray for Johns health and recovery and pray that Oz has a safe journey back to New Jersey! Mr. Oz, do not try and hijack our senate seat at the 11th hour by moving here at the last minute, it’s insulting! We see through it!
Hey Jared. We, as PA Voters, did not accept Trump and stay behind him. People left him, as they should have.
Despite all the problems with Biden, they rejected Trump.
Fetterman ducked when he was mayor. He sucked as Lt. Gov, and now, with the debilitating effects of a stroke, he should be rejected as well.
Hes an ass and anyone continuing to support him is too far in the bag of party loyalty over loyalty to the Commonwealth and Country.
Millionaire perfumed media princes like Joe Scarbough don’t matter. The public is aging and dealing with sickness and recovery whether it be from their parents or themselves. Preening and pompous politicos need to understand Dr Oz is going to do the 10 house watusi when he goes to the Senate and tell you why he is voting to defund Socisl Security. Fetterman is not running to be a heart surgeon. He is running for a government job that he can do.
Sure as hell looked like he couldn’t do it tonight.
This must be the spin comment section, because that was embarrassing and no one should have let him out on that stage. If you think he can debate in the US Senate and handle our NATIONAL SECURITY concerns, you must have had a stroke too.
