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.

So professional.
Not.
This guy is only my age? And he had a stroke…the same Friday the 13th my mom broke her hip and I was also in the same ER with my own problems! (No, I did NOT have a stroke, or heart attack, etc)
Oz was on Hannity tonite and he wasn’t bad; started to punch back against this left extremist on fracking, crime, opening the prisons, etc. But he also did a commercial on food prices and he talked about the cost of serving crudites - came across as elitist.
Funny, Oz was down by almost double that percentage less than two weeks ago. That was before Fetterman’s “11 minute speech” where he apparently had trouble speaking. And before some not-so-favorable articles came out about his wanting to release violent criminals from prisons; and his many absences from council meetings in Braddock when he was mayor. Running for national office can be very illuminating.
Arizona is another one, at least in the Blake Master race.

and he just turned 53??
He needs to drop-out, and check into a CCU Rehab Center.
RNC/McTurtle doing their level best....to LOSE R Senate seats.
Wait, Oz isn’t on vacation again?
Oz may have 10 houses, but he paid for them himself with is own money that he earned. This is way more than can be said for Fetterman who has scant real world private sector experience.
reminds me of the hills have eyes character, a real filthy dirty bag
The dems will vote for Fetterman just so they can get legalized pot. We have legal pot here in Cali and it hasn’t helped anyone a damn bit. So they’ll destroy their own state just so they can get drugs. Really really stupid.
