Last Friday, John Fetterman stepped on a stage in Erie, Penn., to give his first public rally since he suffered a stroke on May 13.
The Democrat running for Senate in Pennsylvania received a hero’s welcome from the crowd, who twirled Pittsburgh Steelers Terrible Towels in the air. The six-foot-eight, bald and goateed Fetterman sported his signature black hoodie with the sleeves pushed up to reveal large tattoos, as he went on to offer a comeback story that has always been his brand.
“Three months ago my life could have ended, but I’m so grateful to be here as well,” he said. Later, he joked, “There’s a lot of differences between me and Dr. Oz. Who would have ever thought that… who would ever think that I’d be the normal one in the race here?”
The crowd roared with laughter. Currently, polls show the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania ahead by 8.7% against the Trump-backed Dr. Mehmet Oz. But, during his 11-minute speech at the Bayfront Convention Center, Fetterman, 53, stumbled several times over his words, often repeating them, as his voice wavered. Several who were in the crowd that night told me they were worried about his health and ability to go the distance.

OZ is a useless fraud.
Never seen a more off brand candidate for a statewide race…
This race was over the minute he got the nomination.
If he winds up losing by 5 or less on Election Day it will be a miracle.
Oz should run ads that get across the idea that if you want the governor to chooe your Senator, vote for Fetterman.
10 points.
I hate to say it but dr is in my opinion it’s too cheap. I’ve never seen a doctor assigned in Pennsylvania at all. Why do I feel like the guy wants to lose.
> If Mastriano wins Governor, he names the replacement when Fetterman dies. <
I have not seen a single Mastriano ad. But I’ve seen quite a few Shapiro ads. In these ads an average-looking guy says that he once had this big problem. Then Attorney General Shapiro intervened, and set everything right.
Shapiro’s campaign team is doing a very good job here.
I’m in PA, but I don’t watch tv. I’ll be voting for Mastriano.
Maybe the plan is to start coming on strong come mid September?
I don’t know.
Glad you said it so I didn’t have to....
Watch Tucker Tonight - he pretty well ended The Dr. Oz campaign
It’s the truth.
Tucker wants Fetterman to win?
Oz is not running ads. Fetterman is a total whack job. He’s been attacking Oz in ads and on social media. WHERE IS OZ????
Is the RNC going to help Oz? Surely, they don’t want Fetterman to win. I don’t like Oz, particularly, but Fetterman is so off the wall, he’d be a terrible representative for PA. Surely voters here will come to their senses. But Oz has to make an effort and hit the issues that concern this state.
No - he was pointing out what a rotten candidate Dr. Oz is
Worse than Fetterman?
What are the other options? Did he (Tucker) say?
Thx.
Yes they do, and don't call me Shirley.
I saw something, the other day, that RNC is pulling ads in three markets....PA being one of them??
Quit watching Tucker . I cannot stand the guy. In fact I pay little attention to Fox News. I prefer Fox Business as it give me real financial news .
Fetterman will win. The ballot counters in Philly will see to it.
Both losers - not worth my vote.
Oh well, I guess you deserve the government you elect.
