Managers for Democratic Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman's campaign released a memo to set the expectations for tomorrow's debate with Mehmet Oz, stating that the doctor is entering the bout with a "huge built-in advantage." Fetterman, on the other hand, will use a computer to deliver instant closed captioninng during the debate. Instead of responding directly to Oz, Fetterman will read Oz's responses on the screen and then respond This is due to the lingering effects of a stroke that Fetterman suffered in the spring. His wife, Gisele, has claimed that criticizing Fetterman for that use of closed captioning is...

Ahead of Tuesday evening's Pennsylvania U.S. Senate debate, the Fetterman campaign is desperately trying to manage expectations for their candidate before he faces Mehmet Oz in the only general election debate Fetterman would agree to participate in well after early voting started in the Keystone State. In a memo emailed to the media, the Fetterman campaign says it wants "be clear about this match-up" before harping repeatedly on the fact that "Dr. Oz has been a professional TV personality for the last two decades" in its quiet admission that Fetterman is in trouble on Tuesday night. The campaign memo, oddly,...

The Senate campaign of recovering stroke victim Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) issued a statement Monday in advance of Tuesday’s debate with Republican Senate nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz downplaying expectations for Fetterman’s performance while offering a ready-made excuse for any failings by the brain-damaged candidate: Human error by closed-caption transcribers that were demanded by Fetterman. The statement also says, “We’ll admit — this isn’t John’s format … if we’re all being honest, Oz clearly comes into Tuesday night with a huge built-in advantage.” Recent polls show the race to be a dead heat, however a sketchy CNN poll released...

In a memo emailed to the media, the Fetterman campaign says it wants "be clear about this match-up" before harping repeatedly on the fact that "Dr. Oz has been a professional TV personality for the last two decades" in its quiet admission that Fetterman is in trouble on Tuesday night. The campaign memo, oddly, quotes a previous Philadelphia Inquirer report stating "Fetterman wasn't great at debates" and then his staff admits "this isn't John's format." They don't clarify what *is* Fetterman's format given his notorious stump speech gaffes — "the Eagles are...so much better...than the Eagles" — and recent poorly-received...

Tomorrow is the debate.

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton dissect the dichotomy between Joe Biden and John Fetterman. Both are not physically capable of holding office and hold positions that are fundamentally wrong. While outlets like CNN may be turning on them, they remain examples of the left's "all for the cause" mentality..

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), running against Mehmet Oz for the state’s open United States Senate seat, reportedly sought to have his wife, Gisele Fetterman, appointed to political office. From 2006 to 2018, Fetterman served as the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania — a town of fewer than 1,800 residents.

A new poll shows that Republican Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz is leading Democrat John Fetterman. The poll of 1,013 likely voters, conducted by market research firm Wick between October 9-13, found that Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon, leads by 4.5 points over Fetterman, the lieutenant governor, with just two weeks left before the 2022 midterms. The poll signifies that Oz may be breaking through a polling wall, as he has been behind Fetterman in polling for most of the cycle. According to the poll, Oz leads Fetterman 49.1%-44.6%. Another 3.4% are voting for someone else, and 2.9% are...

FIRST ON FOX: Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, the state's current lieutenant governor, voted this month in favor of giving a woman a hearing in front of the Keystone State's board of pardons after she was sentenced to prison for allegedly attacking her housemate with scissors and knives. During an Oct. 13 board meeting, Fetterman split with Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro to vote "yes" to grant Brandyn "Brandy" Mills, a woman who had been sentenced to at least five and half years in prison for the 2021 stabbing of her housemate, a hearing in front of the state's...

During an interview on "Fox & Friends Weekend," Saturday, Pennsylvania GOP nominee for Senate Dr. Mehmet Oz discussed the growing crime crisis in Philadelphia, arguing that Democratic Senate candidate Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is fueling the fire with his soft on crime policies. DR. MEHMET OZ: If you walk through the streets of Philadelphia and most of the large cities in Pennsylvania, it's the same story. People feel like the folks in charge value the criminals more than the innocent. The families are in pain. No one seems to care. The fact that Jamir Harris could have been released from...

“When the fate of our democracy and a woman’s right to choose are on the line, I know John will fight for Pennsylvanians.”

With midterms rapidly approaching, Dem flip-flopping in overdrive Biden says Fetterman’s wife will be ‘great lady in the Senate’ Biden bristles when reporter asks why Dem candidates are ducking president Shawshank Fetterman: Dem Senate candidate says he thinks of movie when deciding about freeing criminals In the race to be senator from Pennsylvania, voters must decide between Dr. Mehmet Oz . . . or Gisele Barreto Fetterman. Oh, Gisele isn’t on the ballot. But considering how much she runs interference for her candidate husband, John Fetterman, we should wonder who actually will be running the show. Fetterman had a severe...

Former President Barack Obama made his plea to Pennsylvania voters to elect John Fetterman, the state's lieutenant governor, to the U.S. Senate, saying, "The fate of our democracy" is on the line." In a 30-second video shared Thursday by Fetterman, Obama asks voters to cast their ballots for the Democratic candidate, who is locked in a battle with his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz. "So when the fate of our democracy and a woman's right to choose are on the line, I know John will fight for Pennsylvanians," Obama said. He ended his endorsement with: "Vote Democrat on Nov. 8."...

Pennsylvania Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman hypocritically wanted indefinite pandemic lockdowns. In an interview with John King on CNN on April 17, 2020, John Fetterman proposed that Pennsylvania should not lift pandemic restrictions, despite breaking the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s rules and going on vacation months later. “It wants to spread and what we’ve done in Pennsylvania through the governor’s aggressive stay-at-home orders has really stopped that, and I believe we’re plateaued. But we are weeks away from any kind of major announcement opening — if at all,” Fetterman said in a video unearthed by the Republican National Committee (emphasis...

In the race to be senator from Pennsylvania, voters must decide between Dr. Mehmet Oz . . . or Gisele Barreto Fetterman. Oh, Gisele isn’t on the ballot. But considering how much she runs interference for her candidate husband, John Fetterman, we should wonder who actually will be running the show. Fetterman had a severe stroke earlier this year, leaving him with speech and cognitive problems. There have been numerous examples of Gisele Fetterman running interference for her husband, keeping the press away or answering questions for him.

Meet the FIRST-DEGREE murderers John Fetterman says are “just like” Morgan Freeman. "Just like" your grandfather. Like your grandmother.

You must give Dr. Mehmet Oz credit in the final months of the 2022 elections. He’s turned the ship around, chipping away at Pennsylvania Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s double-digit lead by attacking his record on crime and public safety. Oz, the Republican candidate in this year’s U.S. Senate race, was trailing Fetterman by an 11-point average. It looked like a dumpster fire, but Oz put out the flames, overhauled his staff, and found a resonant message. Fetterman's inability to form complete sentences has also helped with his appalling record on law and order issues. The lieutenant governor wants to...

A convicted killer is now wanted for another murder after he was freed from prison by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s (D) Conviction Integrity Unit, which has the backing of Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. In 2021, Krasner’s Conviction Integrity Unit got a judge to throw out the murder conviction against 32-year-old Jahmir Harris who served eight years in prison. Harris was convicted for the 2012 murder of 45-year-old Louis Porter whom he was accused of shooting in the head in front of his 5-year-old son in a Philadelphia parking lot just two days before Christmas. According to prosecutors, Harris...

Speaking in Pittsburgh on Thursday, President Joe Biden told the wife of Pennsylvania's Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, "You're going to be a great -- a great lady in the Senate." But Giselle Fetterman isn't the candidate. Her husband John, still recovering from a stroke that has impeded his ability to comprehend, is running for the office. Gisele kept John's Senate campaign going while he was recuperating, and she is a strong voice in that campaign. According to The Independent newspaper, at least, she is "something more than a surrogate, and closer to a running mate." On Thursday in Pittsburgh, with...
