FILE - Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate seat, speaks during a video interview from his home in Braddock, Pa., July 20, 2022.Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman will return to in-person campaigning next week after recovering from a stroke in May. The Democratic Senate candidate will be holding a rally in Erie, Penn., next Friday.
Erie County is an important bellwether for the Keystone State. President Donald Trump won it in 2016 by barely 1 point over Hillary Clinton. In 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden flipped it back to blue, also by just 1 point. In May, Fetterman won Erie County in the Democratic primary with 23,200 votes, nearly 80% of the primary vote. In the Republican primary, his opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz, who visited Erie on Wednesday, came in second in the county, receiving 7,500 votes.
Though he's been sidelined from the campaign trail for a few months, Fetterman has nonetheless been leading Oz in recent polls. A Fox News poll in late July showed him leading Oz by 11 points. The USA Today/Suffolk poll in June had him up by 9 points.
Has he ever held a REAL job? His parents gave him a 50K allowance until he was in his 40s and his sister gave him an apartment. We need someone who understands the REAL WORLD
