Months after he made a headline grabbing six-week hospital visit for clinical depression, Fetterman was asked in a Senate Environment Committee hearing Wednesday if he had any remarks about the overpass disaster. 'I, uh, would just, um, really like to, you know — the 95, 95, 95. You know?' he responded. 'Obviously, you're pretty much preoccupied with 95, and I, I certainly am too... and we know its a major atery (sic), not just for Pennsylvania, but for the East Coast.'

Once upon a time we mocked the Soviet Union for its gerontocracy. Aged party leaders, bundled up in overcoats and fur hats to the point of near-unrecognizability, would be wheeled out to sit, immobile, as parades passed or party congresses opened. Their withered, stale leadership was emblematic of the decaying USSR’s withered, stale ideology — and industrial base. But now the joke’s on us. A leading United States senator, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), can’t seem to remember important things, like her just-taken vote on a judicial nominee and her just-announced retirement. “Did I vote for that?” she asked an aide Wednesday,...

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican weighing a 2024 White House bid, said Monday he believes former President Donald Trump is “at his lowest point ever,” as the House Jan. 6 committee wrapped up its investigation into what Hogan described as “one of the darkest days in American history.”In an interview with The Associated Press shortly before the committee released its recommendations, Hogan said he believes the former president should be held accountable, after he “inflamed kind of a riotous mob to go attack the seat of our democracy.” However, the outgoing, term-limited governor was not specific...

Disabled Americans have the right to be represented, and most importantly, to work — and that includes working for the U.S. government.

Democrats are betting that President Biden and Vice President Harris can put Democratic Senate hopeful John Fetterman over the top despite a faltering debate performance that has operatives more worried than ever they could lose the pivotal race. Biden and Harris will head to Philadelphia to campaign together on Friday, a rare occurrence for the duo who typically don’t travel alongside one another. With less than two weeks till Election Day, Biden and Harris are set to participate in a reception for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party.

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 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 —...

In Pennsylvania, where Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is in a heated matchup against GOP nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz in the battle for the state's open Senate seat, a new poll suggests that voters prefer the Democratic candidate on critical issues, despite the majority of respondents having an unfavorable opinion of Democrat President Biden. A new Monmouth University survey among voters in Pennsylvania found that despite Biden's underwater approval rating, the majority of voters trust Fetterman over Oz to best handle every issue of top concern, including abortion, the economy, crime and immigration. "The economy is an issue that has...

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman pulled in $22 million for his Senate bid over the last three months, doubling what he raised in the previous fundraising period. The haul — which came from 330,000 different donors, according to Fetterman’s campaign — marks the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee’s best fundraising quarter to date and brings his total cash haul to more than $48 million. Fetterman’s campaign said that the $22 million total is the most raised in a single quarter by a Senate candidate in Pennsylvania. His campaign manager Brendan McPhillips also took a swipe at Fetterman’s Republican rival, celebrity physician...

Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman isn’t really running for U.S. Senate. He’s on the ballot. He’s doing some campaign stops. He’s dodging a debate against Dr. Mehmet Oz. But he’s just a placeholder. The real candidate that nobody outside of the powerbrokers in the Democrat Party know about is his radical leftist wife, Gisele Barreto Fetterman. The official candidate has been making the news lately with his odd behavior. Just before the primary election, he suffered a stroke and was away from the public eye for over a month. But now that he’s back on the campaign trail, a whole...

Will John Fetterman debate Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania? The US Senate race in Pennsylvania was devolving into an absolute dumpster fire—and it could still go off the hinges—but things are starting to look more favorable for Oz in a state that’s been a cruel mistress to Republicans for over a quarter century. Some of it has to do with Fetterman’s positions getting more airtime, which includes ending life sentences for first-degree murderers, emptying one-third of Pennsylvania’s prisons, and an embarrassing incident where he chased down an unarmed black man with a shotgun. He’s also recovering from a stroke and...

The story seems familiar; a Caucasian yahoo brandished a firearm and used a pickup truck to pursue a jogger because he suspected that the latter committed a crime. This was how Ahmaud Arbery got murdered, but this story is not about Ahmaud Arbery. John Fetterman, who is running against Dr. Oz to fill the U.S. Senate position being vacated by Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania, chased after jogger Christopher Miyares while brandishing a shotgun because he believed that Miyares might have been involved in a crime. Fetterman says it wasn't about race, and there is no reason to doubt his word...

Apparently it’s easy to be a person tough guy when you have the entire mainstream media backing you, but John Fetterman is clearly scared to debate actual issues with Dr. Oz.Haven’t we learned what happens when you put a mush brain in charge? Fetterman makes Biden look with it! https://t.co/rej64zuqLM— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) August 31, 2022INBOX: @DrOz offers list of concessions he'll make if @JohnFetterman will agree to debate next week. pic.twitter.com/qeoeDDrLG8— Sy Snyder (@PoliticsPA) August 30, 2022

Since winning the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate back in May, John Fetterman has been hidden away from public view. Just days before voting began he suffered a stroke and nearly died. He was in the hospital when the votes were tallied on Election Day. Now, when he does show up at rare campaign events, it's for just a few minutes. Usually wearing an oversized sweatshirt and basketball shorts, his appearance is sloppy. His words are even more incoherent and usually Democrat friendly media outlets are starting to take notice. CNN: "Legitimate questions do remain about Fetterman's health” after...

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that gun control laws will not be passed until voters love children more than guns. Booker said, “Whatever we can get done if it saves a life, it’s worth doing. My colleagues were entering bipartisan talks. I fully support that, but under no illusion that things need to be done that the majority of Americans overwhelmingly support Republicans and Democrats that can create significant safety. We know, even though the CDC has been undermined by the gun lobby where Senate Republicans won’t allow basic scientific research on gun violence,...

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is urging Republican voters to “stand against the extremes,” saying the GOP is “desperately in need of a course correction,” as the term-limited governor weighs a presidential run. In prepared remarks for a speech Tuesday evening at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute, Hogan cast himself as a politician with broad appeal like his political hero, Reagan. The Republican criticized last year’s rioting at the U.S. Capitol as “an outrageous attack on our Democracy, incited by the losing candidate’s inflammatory false rhetoric.”

Governor Larry Hogan (R-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law was both “absurd” and a “crazy fight.” Anchor Dana Bash said, “Your fellow Republican governor, DeSantis in Florida, he suggested he will retaliate against Disney after it criticized Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which bans certain instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom. What is your reaction to that, and more broadly, what do you make of that legislation?”
