Democratic Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman was projected to defeat Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Keystone State’s closely-watched Senate race.
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman held a consistent lead over Dr. Mehmet Oz early in the campaign.Even after the Democrat returned to making public appearances, including attending a Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh with President Biden, Fetterman still showed the debilitating effects of the stroke.
During his campaign, Dr. Mehmet Oz took shots at Fetterman’s health, saying Pennsylvania voters “deserve better.”Beyond adding to the speculation about Fetterman’s health, the interview gave Oz an opening to take a shot at his rival. “I don’t think there’s closed captioning on the floor of the Senate, and maybe he doesn’t need closed captioning when he’s actually moving around,” Oz, a heart surgeon, said days later on Fox News Business.
But Oz also took some heat that night when he argued against federal government intervention in abortion decisions, implying he would vote against a nationwide ban on most procedures after 15 weeks of pregnancy “As a physician, I’ve been in the room when there’s some difficult conversations happening,” Oz said. “I don’t want the federal government involved with that at all.
