Oz has agreed to participate in five debates, but Fetterman still has not accepted any invitations and declined to participate in what would have been KDKA’s September 6 debate. On Tuesday, the Oz campaign announced a number of snarky concessions it would make if Fetterman participated and asserted they would “pay for any additional medical personnel he might need to have on standby.”
In response, Fetterman claimed his opponent’s campaign “think[s] it is funny to mock a stroke survivor,” as Fox News noted.
“I chose not to participate in this farce,” he continued, adding he would not be partaking “in a debate the first week of September.”
The same day, he appeared on MSNBC’s 11th Hour with host Stephanie Ruhle and stated that his health was “robust.” He claimed the Oz team was “unserious” about having a debate:

On Wednesday, the celebrity doctor’s campaign stated that a second debate would not materialize as WFMZ-TV and Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce Debate canceled a potential September 9 matchup.
Brittany Yanick, communications director for Dr. Oz for Senate, slammed the radical Democrat for “ducking” debates:
First, John Fetterman’s campaign lied about wanting to debate Dr. Oz based on some secretive “terms” that they won’t share with anyone. Now, John Fetterman says he won’t debate Doctor Oz “in the first week of September.” That’s another lie. He won’t debate Doctor Oz at all, and we all know it. The WFMZ & Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber debate makes TWO debates that Fetterman is ducking.
“We thought John Fetterman was a big tough guy, so what is he so afraid of? Is he afraid of defending his radical record of releasing murderers back on the streets? Let us know, John,” she added.

Like I’ve always said:
Debates are an important part of this primary. We believe voters deserve no fewer than three network televised debates - including all candidates who make the ballot - before major media markets across PA.— John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) February 23, 2022
I'm traveling throughout the Commonwealth and hearing concerns from voters about crime, inflation, and the border crisis. I'm ready to talk about the issues - will @JohnFetterman agree to debate? pic.twitter.com/qrWGEqVigQ— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) September 2, 2022
It doesn’t matter what Fetterman says. It only matters if the media will hold him accountable for it. Which they won’t.
hey, don’t stroke out...
Oz needs to settle down and talk issues. He’s being too cute for his own good. Doesn’t work with Pennsylvania folks…
“That Was Then - This Is The Basement!”
What works with Pennsylvania folks is massive, open and notorious vote fraud - shipped in by pallet on semis.
We don’t care what the media think and say. But they are starting to cover that he doesn’t campaign and won’t debate and this is going to be an even bigger issue as time goes on.
Fetterman said debates are ‘important part’ of Democratic primary, but now refuses to debate Oz

Oz is talking issues. Oz has done 189 campaign events talking issues. Fetterman has done only 3 and is scared to debate the actual issues with Dr. Oz.
Carbon copy of Biden & Jill during 2020 campaign.
Maybe a debate will show how bad in health he is so is trying to avoid.
It is not a lie at all. The very next sentence makes that clear.
....he would have a doctor next to him. :o)
Wouldn’t THAT be fun to watch? Shrek answering a moderator’s question, “UGABOOGAH FLAT TIRE!”
And the trained seal Democrat/communists in the room cheering would be a nice touch.
