Despite deep ideological differences between Mehmet Oz, a right-leaning Republican, and John Fetterman, a left-leaning Democrat, the U.S. Senate campaign in Pennsylvania has mostly skirted the issues. It has been a slugfest, marked by relentless attacks and counter-attacks that generated more heat than light.
Mr. Oz hammered on — and sometimes misrepresented — Mr. Fetterman’s criminal justice policies, even though a U.S. senator has nothing to do with state criminal justice and sentencing policies. Mr. Fetterman, in turn, characterized Mr. Oz’s legitimate calls for Mr. Fetterman to release his medical records as mean-spirited and insensitive. His campaign huffed and puffed over Mr. Oz’s use of “crudites” for raw vegetables on a platter. It was, admittedly, a tone-deaf blunder, but hardly a pivotal matter in the U.S. Senate race.
During Tuesday’s debate, after hundreds of thousands of votes had already been cast, voters finally learned something about where the candidates stood. They learned, among other things, that Mr. Oz opposes federal intervention in abortion rights, and Mr. Fetterman supports the broader Constitutional guarantees provided by the overturned Roe v. Wade decision. They learned Mr. Fetterman supports a federally mandated $15-an-hour minimum wage, and Mr. Oz wants market forces to raise wages. They learned both candidates support fracking. They also learned both men are politicians, as they ducked and dodged questions about why they had changed their minds on fracking.
Neither candidate has experience as a U.S. senator. Given the lack of substance during the campaign, many voters will have to make a leap of faith on Nov. 8.
We believe Mr. Oz is the better bet for Pennsylvania.

Uh, I guess they haven't been listening to Oz, or don't want to hear what he has to say about crime, inflation and energy. He also gives a very intelligent, informed response on COVID. But hey, they are endorsing Oz so I guess that's something.

The PPG is a rag. Fetterman supports lying, not fracking, you stupid schiffs. What debate did the PPG watch.
This will tighten a few colons in PA.
Apparently, leaning has different meanings depending on which way you lean.
What a ridiculous stretch.
And not even true. Misinformation.
The rats are bailing...
Anyone with a pulse who can speak is better prepared
Give me a break
No. One supports fracking.
The other lied and said he supported it to get votes.
PPG endorsed Trump in 2020, too.
The debate clearly showed that Fetterman is cognitively unable to perform his duties. He might push the voting button that his wife tells him to push, but he is unable to speak coherently.
Funny they should say that, when looking at Biden’s history of Drug War legislation . Journ o lists, is there anything they won’t lie about ? They probably ignorant about Biden’s history , lol.
Not a surprise, they endorsed Trump in 2020
Did Pittsburgh—er, I meant hell—freeze over?
“Mehmet Oz, a right-leaning Republican”
We are hopeful.
Not the first time the PPG endorsed a Republican.
They don’t want to say Fetterman would be a brain-damaged congressman.
So many problems with this weaksauce endorsement. Oz is only a “right-leaning” Republican but Fetterman, to the extent he even knows which way is up anymore, is a hard, hard leftist - not “left-leaning”.
Honestly, I’d love to see how many PA paper writes an endorsement of Fetterman after that debate. “Well, he’s got severe brain damage, but he’ll be a reliable vote for Schumer.”
