Democrat John Fetterman managed to take nearly 60% of his party’s votes in the May primary.
Fetterman has a few ways he can secure the seat, which could decide party control in Congress.
Play down his stroke.
Fetterman suffered a stroke days before the primary and has been off the campaign trail recovering from pacemaker surgery.
News of Fetterman’s condition caused by atrial fibrillation didn’t appear to hurt as he took nearly 60% of the votes in the primary.
Fetterman doesn’t look like a politician, often wearing shorts and shirts revealing his arm tattoos as he towers over most people at 6'9".
But Fetterman isn’t a political outsider, having served as the mayor of Braddock Borough and as lieutenant governor.
A populist, Fetterman also holds degrees from the University of Connecticut and Harvard University.
Chen added that some issues Fetterman has focused on through his campaign might not be as high of a priority for voters.
“What’s interesting is when you get his emails, he really focuses on $15 an hour minimum wage, abolishing the filibuster and legalizing marijuana. Those aren’t really issues that most moderate Democrats are prioritizing,” Chen said.
Gun control and reproductive rights have the potential to become the most prominent issues for voters.
“When you get his emails, he focuses on $15 an hour minimum wage, abolishing the filibuster and legalizing marijuana. Those aren’t really issues that most moderate Democrats are prioritizing,” Chen said.
One of the best political pressure points Fetterman can use against Oz is his residency outside of Pennsylvania.
Apart from attending medical school in Pennsylvania, Oz didn’t live in the state until he started his Senate run in 2021.
Fetterman could bring in those Republican voters who were on the fence about Oz in the GOP primary and also independent voters.

Dream on. Fetterman cannot stop the Republican takeover of both houses. He can’t even slow it down.
1) Get the GOP to nominate Dr. Oz.
2) Get the GOP to nominate Dr. Oz.
3) Get the GOP to nominate Dr. Oz.
4) Get the GOP to nominate Dr. Oz.
5) Get the GOP to nominate Dr. Oz.
#1 cheat like hell.....................
He’s going to win. I just hope Mastriano wins, because I think Fetterman is going to die in office.
Precisely.
“Fetterman suffered a stroke days before the primary and has been off the campaign trail recovering from pacemaker surgery.”
Dude, it’s time.
Spend your days with loved ones, the clown show will run itself.
If nothing else, live as if there is a Heaven, just in case.
Let me tell you about the Tel Aviv Mayor…
Equally as meaninglful.
Besides the fact that Fetterman is this sick man of Pennsylvania. He’s also coming for your children. And there’s nothing that’s going to stop Federman from doing that if he is elected. We have a choice in Pennsylvania and John Fetterman is not it. Would you want that guy anywhere near your children? If you do you’re sick.
Hahahaahaha
Fetterman is going to eat OZ for breakfast and crap him out by lunch…
OZ has zero chance at a statewide win.. absolute fraud and turd and completely off brand for this state.
OZ and MCCormick are both horrible candidates… each spent more individually on the primary than both parties spent combined in the last senate race just to get 31% each of gop primary voters… yet fools here honestly think either of them can win a general?!?
Fools
Fetterman is a white guy who pretends to be a moderate, which gives him a good chance to get elected (see Biden). His campaign ads will depict him as a working class guy in contrast to the effete Dr. Oz (inspite of the fact Fetterman is Ivy League educated). He’ll vote 100% with Schumer, Sanders and Warren when he gets to the Senate.
I see this Senate seat as a flip for the Dems. There’s a good chance the Dems add at least one seat in the Senate. If they add two seats, bye bye filibuster.
> Fetterman could bring in those Republican voters who were on the fence about Oz... <
That silly statement alone disqualifies the entire article. Oz is a Mitt Romney carpetbagger. But Fetterman is an insane communist, and every GOP voter knows that.
I can’t imagine any aware Republican voting for Fetterman this November. But I sure can seeing them voting third-party. Trump and that idiot Hannity really messed this one up.
I just took a trip over the weekend through the Pennsylvania Heartland if the election were held in Elk County and Forest County and Warren County and Clearfield County etc. etc. Mastriano in a landslide. His signs are along the roads one every mile it seems.
The polling data from liberal sources shows Mastriano behind by four points Doug is such a positive guy heck his spirit reminds me of Dick Thornburgh and I still remember seeing Thornburgh in person when I was young.
Fingers crossed…
Forget it, Jake - it's Pennsylvania...
Rigging Pennsylvania: Obama 2008 by county compared with Biden 2020 by county

1. Mail-in ballots
2. Dominion machines.
3. Dem AG Shapiro ignoring fraud
4. PA Dem controlled Supreme Court ignoring fraud
5. Count until you win districts in Philly & Pittsburgh
6.PA R party that has done nothing to end the perennial democrat fraud that occurs in PA
He can cheat like biden did.
Let’s see - John Joseph Edward Fetterman vs Mustafa Mehmet Suleiman Ozturk. The average Pennsylvanian goes huh? The big, burly ultra-American Fetterman will crush Mustafa like a Turkish delight.
Apart from attending medical school in Pennsylvania, Oz didn’t live in the state until he started his Senate run in 2021.’
Medical school is a very formative portion of a doctor’s life and by moving to Pennsylvania back in 2021 Dr. Oz meets and exceeds the residency requirements of the Commonwealth.
