Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz is ramping up pressure on his Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, to participate in debates as Oz looks to tighten the race ahead of the November midterm elections.
Oz’s criticisms of Fetterman come in the wake of the Democrat opting not to partake in a televised debate proposed for Sept. 6 as he continues to recover from a stroke. The television doctor-turned-Republican politician alleged that Fetterman needs to defend his positions publicly ahead of the November elections, having agreed to participate in five debates. Oz’s campaign has repeatedly accused Fetterman of “hiding” and attempted to draw into question whether he is healthy enough to serve in the Senate.
"We heard John Fetterman won't debate Oz in the 'first week of September.' OK, so when will he debate? He won't ever say — not even in his latest whiny statement. John Fetterman's campaign is insulting the intelligence of Pennsylvania voters," Oz's communications director, Brittany Yanick, said in a statement.
The Fetterman camp has stated that he is willing to debate Oz but will not adhere to his demands.
Fetterman has defended his approach to returning to the campaign trail, asserting that he has been engaged with voters while continuing to place an emphasis on his recovery.
“I've been traveling the commonwealth talking to voters about my vision and ideas for nearly a decade. I'm proud of my record as mayor and as Lieutenant Governor and I'm eager to put my record and my values up against Dr. Oz's any day of the week,” he said in a statement.
“As I recover from this stroke and improve my auditory processing and speech, I look forward to continuing to meet with the people of Pennsylvania," he continued.

Adam Schiff isn’t just creepy-I can picture him behind a shower curtain with a knife like Norman Bates in “Psycho”-and Nancy Pelosi could scare little kids with that unblinking, cold reptilian stare of hers...
Then PA will get exactly what it deserves.
Agree.
Oz can be sympathetic, counseling Fetterman to take care of his health but making the point that if he is too weak to debate, DC is probably too much for him.
Excellent!!
It’s yellow plastic chicken time.
The last two paragraphs indicate that only Fetterman’s political beliefs are unfit.
John should take his 12 gauge shotgun to the debate to help his spinal problems. This guy is 6‘8“ tall and a coward. With an ugly face like that it’s hard to believe that he is a coward but that’s what he is. He’s afraid of a Turkish doctor. Hey Doc hold the debate with or without the coward.
Schiff and Pelosi....
Yes, and with Halloween in less than a month they fit right in with the ghouls and goblins.
