“Biden goes to bat for John Fetterman in Pennsylvania,” reads the headline from Bloomberg. If so, Joe Biden appears to have struck out. And Fetterman apparently never came up to bat. In fact, one has to wonder what in the hell the White House or Team Fetterman was thinking by having Joe Biden drop in on this state. Josh Shapiro is more or less on cruise control in the Keystone State’s gubernatorial race, leading Doug Mastriano in every poll and maintaining a seven-point lead in the RCP aggregate average.

Twenty days out from the general election, Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina took Democrats and the media to task for trying to sweep an incident, in which Democrat U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman held an innocent black jogger at gunpoint, under the rug. "I can't even believe it," Scott said during a town hall hosted by Sean Hannity in York, Pennsylvania, that was broadcast on Fox News Channel. "A person puts a shotgun in a man's chest — an innocent man," Scott noted. "Imagine it being a white Republican putting a shotgun in the chest of a black...

President Biden praised John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania, during a trip to the state on Thursday. “We need John badly. Not a joke,” Mr. Biden said during a fundraising reception in Philadelphia with Mr. Fetterman, the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania. The president said Mr. Fetterman has integrity: "You never have to wonder that he means what he says.” Mr. Fetterman’s Republican opponent, celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz, “is for undoing everything we have done,” Mr. Biden said. “I want to be standing next to big John when he wins, because John, you have character, pal, and it...

John Fetterman's wife Gisele stepped in and shut down a reporter who asked the lieutenant governor if he was satisfied with the progress made of the downed Pittsburgh bridge. 'We're not here to do interviews, we're here to celebrate,' Gisele told reporter Kyle Mazza of UNF News, as the couple attended an event headlined by President Joe Biden at the worksite of the Fern Hollow Bridge - the site of the January bridge collapse. Fetterman has been using closed captioning to answer questions from journalists as he recovers from his May stroke, with a sit-down with NBC News garnering attention...

President Biden raised eyebrows Thursday when he said that Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s wife would be a “great lady in the Senate” — appearing to imply that the Democrat would be unable to serve due to his poor health. “John, thank you very much for running, I really do appreciate it,” Biden said at an event in Pittsburgh. “And Gisele, you’re going to be a great, great lady in the Senate.” Fetterman had a stroke in the same week that he won the May 17 Democratic Senate primary and continues to experience health issues, though he and his campaign...

Today, President Biden is in the battleground state of Pennsylvania with two aims: to highlight the impact of the infrastructure bill he signed into law last year and to help Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman raise money in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country. Biden’s first stop is the site of a bridge that collapsed in Pittsburgh nine months ago that is rapidly being rebuilt. He’ll then head to Philadelphia to join Fetterman, who faces Republican celebrity physician Mehmet Oz. .....

Reporter Elad Aliahu asks question John Fetterman chasing an unarmed black man with a shotgun, leading to a Fetterman supporter losing his mind "Another Unhinged braindead communist Democrat who can't even have a normal conversation or debate."

[Multiple videos of Fetterman's gibberish at link.............] “No government, any more than an individual, will long be respected without being truly respectable.” So said Publius at the conclusion of Federalist No. 62. Publius’s intent was to praise the virtues of having a small, aristocratic Senate as part of the new United States Constitution. Well, let’s all hope Publius is wrong, because that Senate is on the verge of losing its respectability forever. Because in just three short weeks, it may be welcoming John Fetterman to its ranks. ***************************************** Greg Price @greg_price11 · Follow NBC: "Can voters trust that you will...

President Joe Biden plans to travel to Pennsylvania on Thursday to help Democrat Senate Candidate John Fetterman. The president will travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to deliver remarks on infrastructure before traveling to Philadelphia for a fundraising reception for Fetterman. It is unclear whether Fetterman will make a public appearance with Biden in Pittsburgh, but he is expected to attend the fundraiser with the president behind closed doors. White House reporters typically get some access to the president’s opening remarks at fundraisers.

Pennsylvania Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate John Fetterman released a medical report written by a doctor who has donated more than $1,300 to his campaign in the past year, according to records.

John Fetterman’s campaign is citing a political donor’s note as proof that the Senate hopeful has a clean bill of health. In a letter released by Fetterman’s team, Dr. Clifford Chen said Fetterman has "significantly improved" following his stroke and "can work full duty in public office." The campaign released the letter—which it called a "medical report"—following calls from media outlets for the Pennsylvania Democrat’s health records. Chen’s political leanings could raise questions about his medical assessment of Fetterman, whose race against Republican Mehmet Oz could determine which party controls the Senate. According to campaign finance records, Chen has given...

Pennsylvania Democrat senate candidate and stroke victim John Fetterman finally released his medical record after weeks on the campaign trail spent struggling to speak in short and sometimes nonsensical outbursts. There’s just one problem: that isn’t his medical record. Actually, there are at least a couple more problems, but we’ll get to those in a sec. The first and most obvious problem is… those are not his medical records, and you’d have to be a fool or a member of the press to believe they are. But I repeat myself. What the campaign released — here, in PDF form —...

After suffering a severe stroke in May, Pennsylvania senatorial candidate John Fetterman now relies on speech-to-text software to understand the spoken word. The digital interface has become a part of him. In a recent NBC interview, Fetterman can be seen gazing at his desktop screen, struggling to comprehend the questions asked. The Democratic nominee will even be allowed to use this software in the Oct-25 debate with his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz. In a healthy society, Fetterman’s own party would urge him to resign for the common good. This situation is beyond the polarized arguments over immigration, crime, or...

The Pennsylvania State Correction Officers Association (PSCOA) is backing Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz against his radical Democrat opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, in the Keystone State’s U.S. Senate race. Oz’s campaign released a letter of endorsement from the PSCOA on Tuesday. In the letter, dated August 3, PSCOAS President John Eckenrode wrote to Oz: Your leadership and support of the men and women who patrol Pennsylvania’s 35 state correctional institution, forensic units and community corrections centers will be critical. We’re impressed with his knowledge of the many issues our members face, and for the great concern he’s shown for our...

Liberal media outlets are rallying around Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman after an NBC News reporter said he had difficulty understanding their conversation during a sit-down interview. On Monday, The Atlantic’s Elaine Godfrey wrote that despite his "relatively privileged upbringing," Fetterman has long been recognized as a "consummate everyman" and a straight talker. Speaking with Fetterman supporters during the campaign trail, Godfrey reported that supporters of the stroke survivor appeared unfazed by the candidate’s recent health challenges, and that he has now become "more relatable than ever." "Which is to say that Fetterman’s just-like-us appeal before his stroke may...

On her podcast, Fast Politics, author and journalist Molly Jong-Fast asked Gisele Barreto Fetterman, wife of Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate, John Fetterman, about an interview of her husband that resulted in controversy and accusations of ableism this week. Mrs. Fetterman expressed outrage that the reporter has not faced any “consequences” for it. When NBC News reporter Dasha Burns interviewed the Pennsylvania candidate, he relied on a closed-caption display as a visual aid, due to what he and his campaign have characterized as “audio processing” issues he’s experienced following a stroke this year. While talking about the interview, Burns noted that...
