OZ never had a prayer, worst candidate I have ever seen to run for statewide office as a Republican.
Not only was OZ destined to lose, the burned more than $100M pushing that turd, that could have been spent to help win tight congressional races.
Only reason he didn’t lose by double digits was due to Fetterman’s inability to properly campaign due to his health.
It might be a revelation to some, but Oz was a Trump creation. Trump pushed him on Pennsylvania saying, and I quote, “he’s on t.v. and people like him.” Plus, Oz sucked up to Trump which was all he needed to do to get Trump’s backing.
Fetterman was the popular, maverick mayor of a broken-down steel town near Pittsburgh. He knows the psyche of the blue collar, ethnic voters who populate the area. They don’t go for left wing, pinko crazies. No doubt, Fetterman absorbed some of their outlook on politics. If you’re familiar with the film “Deer Hunter” you’ve seen the patriotic types who are similar to Fetterman’s former western Pennsylvania constituents. I don’t think he’ll become a Washington D.C. insider.
