Oz might have made a great senator. But you’ve got to get elected first. And Oz was just wrong for Pennsylvania. Here’s something I mentioned on another thread (please forgive if you saw it previously):
I have friends in rural western Pennsylvania. It’s solid Trump country, no doubt about it. I was visiting there the summer before the 2022 PA senate election. I was shocked to see that there were as many Fetterman signs in front yards as Oz signs.
Part of that was due to Fetterman’s excellent campaign ads. Part of it was also due to how bad a candidate Oz was (Hollywood carpetbagger). Would there have been as many Fetterman signs out if the GOP candidate wasn’t so bad? I don’t think so.
Roe vs Wade overturn was a HUGE swing for Fetterman. Wild campaign turnouts...and pink shirts everywhere.
