I disagree. Oz was a popular TV guy. Elections are popularity contests. It was stolen.
Popular among chicks and suburban moms, popular with blue-collar unionistas not so much. They were convinced Fetterman was one of them. He made that sale long before the midterms back when he was first elected. The incongruous part of this many of those blue-collar guys were Trump voters.
agree
Can’t say it was stolen. I know more than a few people who stayed home because they would not vote for OZ. The carpetbagger label really hurt him with a lot of PA voters.
