Wednesday, November 9, 2022 3:12PMABC News projects John Fetterman has won the race for Pennsylvania's Senate seat, defeating Dr. Mehmet Oz.Pennsylvania's Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman has won the state's marquee Senate race, handing Democrats a major flip in their bid to keep control of the 50-50 upper chamber.
On social media, Fetterman said: "It's official. I will be the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. We bet on the people of Pennsylvania - and you didn't let us down. And I won't let you down. Thank you."Fetterman's victory marks a key step in Democrats' quest to keep the Senate, which is currently evenly divided, with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking ties.Fetterman easily won the Democratic primary in May over Rep.
Oz, meanwhile, veered sharply to the right during his primary, saying America couldn't "move on" from the 2020 election and likening abortion to murder before moving back toward the middle during the general election, focusing on worries about crime and high inflation under the Democratic federal government.
Fetterman also pushed to tie Oz to other Republicans seeking to restrict abortion access, though Oz said he would be a moderate on the issue.
