HARRISBURG, Penn. (Reuters) - Pennsylvania Democrats tried to do damage control on John Fetterman's U.S. Senate campaign on Wednesday, the morning after a shaky debate performance against Republican TV doctor Mehmet Oz that showed the struggle Fetterman faces in recovering from a May stroke.
“I don’t know anyone, even the most staunch Fetterman supporters, who think that went well last night," a senior Pennsylvania Democrat told Reuters.
Democrats interviewed said the Fetterman campaign is surely doing quick polls to gauge how to repair any damage caused by the performance. Some took hope in how many voters had cast ballots before the debate -- some 685,000, more than two-thirds of them Democrats, according to the U.S. Elections Project.
Fetterman's words on Tuesday night were frequently halting, and he often repeated phrases multiple times. Several Democrats said that his performance, while courageous, raised fresh concerns about his health.
Fetterman's campaign tried to change the subject, saying it would launch new TV ads highlighting Oz's debate comment that a abortion is a decision to be made by "a woman, her doctor and local political leaders."

“Hi! Goodnight everybody.”
The debate was over; right there.
>When he stars the debate by saying goodnight...you know it’s over for him. LOL
He should have stopped there.
“Even Reuters/Yahoo is having trouble spinning Fetid man’s implosion.”
Only because most Democrats have already voted.
After last nights debate it’s clear to me now what’s next for the Democrats. Forget Biden....FETTERMAN 2024!
That was my first thought, too. “Shaky”?! The dude’s a total disaster.
They hid biden in the basement for the whole campaign, they should have let the lump debate
And they said today that they were going to give the finger to the SCOTUS and defy them by counting improper ballots which don’t comply with the legal requirements to be dated. They are going to steal this election and they are going to do it right out in the open. The law won’t come after them and if anyone says anything they will get swatted by federal or state law enforcement.
Duh! Why do you think his campaign picked a late October day to begin with??
Still, the hardcore Dims vote early traditionally. It is the independents and Republican turnout that matters now.
Of COURSE I saw it . . . I don’t spit coffee willy nilly . . . after mixing the perfect real cream and sugar combination, that stuff is more valuable than platinum.
I think he wrote a book, “To Serve Mankind” It was in some alien language.
Trump had record turnout in PA in 2020. Just saying.
His performance was “courageous”?
“If Fetterman was a car it wouldn’t run, you’d have to leave it in the driveway”
The wheels would be off, and it would be up on blocks, permanently.
“685,000, more than two-thirds of them Democrats, according to the U.S. Elections Project.”
Democrats vote for the (D), not the issue. The target here is the independent vote. The fact the dems have voted early isn’t a surprise. Demfilth would vote for Charles Manson if he were alive and had a (D) after his name. The dems wouldn’t have been swayed by that debacle last night.
LOL. Now I spit my green tea and vodka.

What is it with these democrats politicians clinging like this? Can’t they let go and at least let another Democrat run? And what about their voting Democrat enabler helping them cling to nonsense? The intellectual dishonesty and mental corruption is staggering.
Apparently this senior Pennsylvania Democrat hasn’t spoken to his pals at the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Pennsylvania Ping!
