Thanks for agreeing to debate. Now, it’s my turn to call the shots.
Republican candidate for Senate Mehmet Oz rejected the suggestion by Democratic opponent John Fetterman to hold a debate in October, just a day after the Pennsylvania lieutenant governor agreed to a single debate with the celebrity doctor.
“The first debate has to be in September so we can allow voters to know who their candidates are right now,” Oz told Axios. “Pick one of the debates in the next two, three weeks. So we can get this ball rolling.” Oz said he wouldn’t accept a mid-October debate until Fetterman agrees to one sooner.
Why?
Oz wants to debate Fetterman before early mail and absentee voting gets underway in the Commonwealth. Those ballots are available beginning on September 19.
Fetterman committed to a single debate with Oz in mid- to late-October. He continues to work on accommodations for his auditory processing issues related to his mid-May stroke.
“We’re absolutely going to debate Dr. Oz, and that was really always our intent to do that,” Fetterman told POLITICO in an exclusive interview. “It was just simply only ever been about addressing some of the lingering issues of the stroke, the auditory processing, and we’re going to be able to work that out.”
Oz has doubled down with his push on Fetterman’s recovery.
“This is not about health,” he said. “This is about honesty. You’re either healthy, which [Fetterman] says he is pretty much, or you’re not debating because you don’t want to face the rigors of being pushed on your radical positions. Or you’re lying about being healthy.”

You can call for it, but your not going to get it.
Voting starts in a couple weeks.
If hoodie agrees to a debate, it will be after 50% of the vote is in and there will be little to none time for the results whatever they may be to have any effect.
You have to keep calling for it regardless. A couple days ago folks were saying he wouldn’t get any debate and to give up. Then the next day Fetterman caved. People don’t know what they are talking about and are giving very bad advice and need to give some support or shut up.

This the right attitude.
He looks like a bridge troll...
I’m behind Oz.
He should keep pushing - hard - just stating a political reality.
I... Will... Debate... Not... ... ... Oz... Good night!
With two months until Election Day, Pennsylvania voters deserve to hear from @JohnFetterman on the debate stage. I'm ready, John! pic.twitter.com/T5HpDHRTtb— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) September 8, 2022
Keep the pressure on, Dr. Oz.
Some people will vote "D" no matter what, but many will see the candidates in a different light and may change their minds.
Is the lump on the back of Fetterman’s neck a lipoma or his brain??????????
Fetterman can’t stand up for an hour to debate. The guy is so weak from his stroke and the drugs that he’s taking. Right now John Fetterman could not carry Dr. Oz‘s jockstrap. He’s going down. Along with Joe Biden getting impeached.
Good. The debate needs to occur before mail-in voting. The inability to find out about candidates before the election is three-fold. 1.) Early mail-in voting. 2.) government/deep state cover ups. 3.) Communist media that repeat lies and avoid coverage of their chosen candidates.
It’s his minder. Ask Londo Molari.
Tucker did his job and he did it well. He should’ve brought up the black jogger though. But he ripped him a new one.
OZ is smart. Caveman will cancel the late October debate because he allowance didn’t come in on time or some other nonsense.
Pennsylvania Ping!
