Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s campaign said Wednesday it raised more than $1 million in just three hours following the Democratic Senate candidate’s debate with his Republican rival, Dr. Mehmet Oz.
The “unprecedented” haul demonstrates “deep grassroots enthusiasm” for Fetterman, his campaign said.
The sole faceoff between Fetterman, the progressive former Braddock mayor, and Oz, the celebrity doctor backed by former President Donald Trump, marked the climax of one of the most important races of the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
It also put a spotlight on Fetterman’s continued struggles after he suffered a life-threatening stroke in May that took him off the campaign trail for months.
While the Democrat’s doctors say he is recovering well, his lingering auditory processing issues have required him to rely on a live closed-captioning system in recent interviews, as well as in Tuesday night’s debate.
But even with the technological aid, Fetterman appeared to have significant trouble forming some sentences and delivering cogent responses throughout the hourlong event in Harrisburg.
He acknowledged his difficult recovery at the start and end of the debate, saying his campaign is “all about fighting for anyone in Pennsylvania that ever got knocked down and had to get back up again.”
Fetterman’s own campaign had tempered expectations in advance of the debate, warning that “this isn’t John’s format” and that the use of closed-captioning could lead to awkward moments.
“It’s clear that the people of Pennsylvania have John’s back in this race,” Fetterman campaign manager Brendan McPhillips said in a press release announcing the post-debate fundraising windfall.
“They stepped up tonight with a gigantic show of support for John and his debate performance. We’re honored and grateful for the support heading into the last two weeks of the race,” McPhillips said.

The delusion almost seems Biblical.
People probably thought they were donating to a stroke victim charity.
How much of that million came from Davos?
Audit Fettermans campaign finances.
For what? When he said Good Night?
They love voting for Empty Shells
said Wednesday it raised more than $1 million in just three hours
Honestly, first we had Biden and suspect a stolen election. Now Fetterman? Another mentally incapacitated individual. Like the democrat bench is really at the bottom? Or it really is a delusion.
I really am starting to panic over the democrat party in that it is like they cannot see the danger in front of them?
Who was the bookie?
Yep, it was a telethon for the disabled, kinda like the shows Jerry Lewis used to do on Labor Day.
Yeah. Giving money to a vegetable is really gonna make things right and get him elected.
The donors thought it was going to St Jude’s.
That was my first thought too. Or who was the big donor?
probably from mitch mcCONALL
It’s not that they like Fetterman. It’s that they want socialists in power and he will vote to give their side power. Sending a blast of money after that sort of debate performance is more a recognition that he is going to screw up their plans than it is support of the actual candidate. Fetterman as a person is disposable.
The money. That’s why they are pushing this walking mess out on the stage.
They are deceived.
Can they really be this blind?
Well first, let’s see the actual filing to access whether they actually received $1 million, or about $29.95. Next, let’s see how much of that money is grassroots or did they get a donation from George Soros, or possibly a couple of other big Dem donor groups?
If truly $1 million is this just a donation ploy to publicly buoy a known cognitively damaged candidate not capable of holding office?
We’ll see if the poll numbers bear this out, and ultimately, we’ll see on November 8th where the truth lies.
Sympathy vote from the brainless saps.
