Daily News | We sat in on John Fetterman’s endorsement interview. Here’s what he said about Bob Casey, abortion and inflation.
John Fetterman said he’d emulate Democratic Sen. Bob Casey if he’s elected to the Senate, while distancing himself from both the left and right wings of his party during an interview with The Inquirer’s editorial board Wednesday.
Still, Fetterman’s wide-ranging interview with The Inquirer was in sharp contrast to Republican nominee Mehmet Oz, who has been invited for a similar meeting and hasn’t accepted. Oz also refused to speak to The Inquirer editorial board or answer a policy questionnaire during the GOP primary. When he has taken questions, Oz has often been evasive on key issues.The editorial board, which runs The Inquirer’s opinion pages and decides endorsements, operates independently from the newsroom.
Asked if he considered himself a “Democratic Socialist” in the mold of Sen. Bernie Sanders Fetterman’s entire answer was: “Never. Never.”
