The NY Times is getting very, very worried.

The principal intent of campaigns is to give voice to the candidates’ positions on major issues. When casting their ballots, voters consider personality, party allegiance, character traits and other factors. In Pennsylvania’s Senate election, a candidate’s personal health has come to the fore, and the outcome could be a key in determining control of the Senate.
In my experience, politicians who are not fully transparent in disclosing their health information can become vulnerable to the spread of misinformation, rumors and antics that detract from the candidate’s stances on major issues. That risk is playing out in the Fetterman-Oz race in Pennsylvania.

But the Fetterman campaign has given the public little opportunity to clarify his medical issue. Over the years, my reporting has found that, for various reasons, doctors’ statements concerning a political leader are not always as complete as they should be. The Fetterman campaign has released only one statement from his cardiologist, in June. Although his campaign has said the candidate has received normal scores on cognitive tests, it has not released his full cognitive testing results or information from a neurologist about the stroke-affected area of his brain.
Mr. Fetterman may have avoided his health becoming a political issue had he, party officials and journalists met their civic responsibilities to check on his health when he entered the primary campaign. Mr. Oz, a former heart surgeon, only just released his own personal medical information, on Friday.
In an election, voters expect that candidates can fulfill their duties for a full term. In my view, no ailment should prevent individuals from seeking elected office provided they have disclosed their full medical information. Voters define and decide fitness for office.

Fetterman is physically and mentally ill.

Yeah, I want to know which of my representatives has ever had herpes.
If it were up to me, all government officials would be subject to random drug and alcohol testing.
Most democrats meet that description.
Just another Fetterman hit piece from a right-wing rag.
Oh, wait. This is from the New York Times. Now I’m really confused. Maybe they want Fetterman to drop out, and be replaced by some well-known PA Democrat stalwart. Ed Rendell, maybe?
And mental testing.
Including Joe Biden’s dementia score.
Does this apply to Biden as well? He still has not released his medical information regarding his cognition.
And why wasn’t the NYTimes interested in this medical transparency in 2020?
Fourteenth Row Joe is the reason why. That boy has no business being tossed into the White House. That was a sick joke on the American people.
All of the above.
What they want is for Fetterman to release some docs so they can say nothing to see here, move along now, and continue to allow Fetterman to run as a hologram.
That plan worked for SlowJoe in fall 2020.
If you have the media on your side, it can work.

Freaky.
Yup. There should be an exam on the Constitution.
Was the public entitled to know what direction Bill Clinton’s d-ck hung?
