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.

Perhaps cash was raised, perhaps not.
More likely this is little more than a press release attempting to counter pretty much everyone saying Fetterman lost the election last night, what a fool his campaign was for putting him out there, etc.
that was for his much-needed medical care, not his campaign!
LOL

And you can bet those donations were pre-arranged and mostly from CA and NY, because they knew they would need a positive story to counter the disaster of the debate.
Same logic can apply to future democrat candidates. Since Biden's mentally confused, it's OK for Democrats to elect a person for President who has dementia.
Of course this 'pass' only applies to democrats.
Republicans will be held to the highest standards possible.
It would be instructive to voters if Fetterman and Biden would sit down together and discuss the important issues facing our country.
From one donor.
Or play chess. Neither would ever make a move if a timer is involved
The dead make political contributions here in Pennsylvania too I guess or at least the brain dead.
Must have been Fetterman’s opening:
Goodnight, America!
No surprise. He’s a brain impaired extremist who will be controlled by his even more extreme unaccountable underlings. Exactly the type of scenario that the hard left loves.
Probably all of it .🙄
Probably for medical bills.
Probably more like 1,000.00 he says he transposes things.
I would not be surprised if he wins
