Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, the big winner in his Pennsylvania Senate debate on Tuesday, opposed Lt. Gov. John Fetterman two weeks before the midterm elections, according to an instant poll.
Eight to two percent of respondents saw Oz as the winner, 18 percent for Fetterman, according to effects published by WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh, a broadcast partner of the event.
It was not without delay that it became transparent how many voters were cast. The ballot gave the impression of being closed at the time of publication.
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic Senate nominee, raised $500,000 more than an hour after his debate with Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz on Tuesday, according to his crusade manager, Brendan McPhillips.
Fetterman boasted after the debate about the candidate’s performance.
“We are thrilled with the functionality of John. Il that worked remarkably well tonight, especially considering that you are still recovering from a stroke and are running overdue subtitles full of errors,” the crusade said, according to a tweet from an NBC News reporter.
Moments after the debate in the Pennsylvania Senate ended, John Fetterman’s crusade sent out a fundraising appeal focused on the attack on the Democrat in mid-May.
“My stroke knocked me down, but I was turned back,” the email reads.
The feeling is that Fetterman voiced the debate, linking his own struggle to recover with the struggles suffered by other Pennsylvanians.
“I just stepped off the debate level in Harrisburg and sought to succeed one last time tonight,” Fetterman said in the email. “My stroke knocked me down, but I was turned back. And now I’m fighting for everyone. “those of the Palestinian Authority who were overthrown and had to rise up again. “
Feterman’s debate function is characterized by verbal stumbling and asymmetrical word delivery. To address the persistent auditory processing issues the contestant still faces, the host network allowed Fetterman to read the subtitles of the debate in real time.
The debate between Senate hopefuls John Fetterman and Dr. Mehmet Oz ended after closing statements, concluding the face-to-face assembly between the two men before Election Day.
The moderator asked the candidates for the Pennsylvania Senate debate if they supported the Supreme Court debate.
“I don’t,” Democrat John Fetterman responded, while stressing that he disagreed with the ideological makeup of the Supreme Court.
“It’s not about making the rules, it’s about detecting where we are,” Fetterman said.
“It would touch on the composition of the Supreme Court,” Mehmet Oz said in reaction to the host.
Oz accused Fetterman of failing to “break” the systematic obstruction, which he called a “dangerously radical movement. “
John Fetterman and Dr. Mehmet Oz agreed that college has cost too much in recent decades, but neither has proposed specific plans to lower higher education prices.
“We need a fair formula that lowers prices through a higher price for the money we spend, and then ensure a high-quality education that allows other people to make a living after graduation,” Oz said.
“He didn’t answer, you didn’t answer the question at all,” Fetterman replied. “Basically, each and every quality public school deserves to be very affordable in each and every state. “
However, the Democrat paused before proposing a plan to cut education costs, prompting a follow-up query from a moderator who said, “How exactly would you do it most for families?”
“I’ll leave it at that, it’s too expensive,” Fetterman said.
Asked if he would accept President Joe Biden’s candidacy for president in 2024, John Fetterman replied, “It’s up to him, and if he chooses to run, he surely would. “
The moderator then asked if there were any Biden management policies he criticized. Fetterman said Biden could do more for inflation. He concluded by saying that Biden is a smart “family man” and defends the union lifestyle.
Dr. Mehmet Oz said he would do it with former President Donald Trump if he ran a third presidential bid in 2024, and said he would be “whoever the Republican Party nominates” as its nominee.
“Donald Trump supported you, he approved of you,” one moderator said. Why don’t you fully dedicate yourself to supporting him in 2024?”
“I would like Donald Trump if he made the decision to run for president,” Oz said. “Okay, but it’s more vital than a single candidate. It’s a much bigger story. “
When asked about immigration, Republican Mehmet Oz said, “We have a crisis at the border. “
“What legal immigration gives us,” he added, noting that his parents are immigrants, but expressed opposition to illegal immigration.
The entry of drugs across the southern border “makes each and every state a border state,” he said, mentioning fentanyl overdoses.
Oz concluded by saying that John Fetterman to decriminalize drugs.
Asked if the border is secure, Fetterman said, “A secure border can be compatible with compassion. “
Fetterman has emphasized a comprehensive view of immigration and criticized Republican governors for sending immigrant buses across the country, calling it a political stunt.
Democrat John Fetterman defended his criminal record during his tenure as mayor of Braddock and lieutenant state governor.
“I would say I was able to prevent gun violence for five and a half years as mayor,” Fetterman said. . “
Oz pushed, arguing that crime is surging across the state because of Fetterman’s “tough stance against” police funding. The Republican pointed to the endorsements he has earned from the Pennsylvania State Police Association and the Braddock Fraternal Order of Police.
“The little guy from the city he represented criticized me. They annoyed me because what he says is not true,” Oz said.
Candidates for the Pennsylvania Senate debate asked if they supported fracking, to which Mehmet Oz said he “strongly” supported the practice.
He hit Democrat John Fetterman, saying he opposed pipelines and would moratorium on fracking.
Fetterman, in response, said, “I’m sure I’m fracking. “
“We want independence with energy,” he said, adding that he had “followed that line” throughout his career.
The moderator responded that Fetterman has made contradictory statements about fracking in his career.
Fetterman reiterated that “energy independence is essential” and supports hydraulic fracturing, making sure it has never taken cash from the industry.
Democrat John Fetterman evaded the question of whether he would release his medical records to the public and told debate moderators that his doctor had legalized him to carry out his duties in the Senate.
“I didn’t hear you say that you would publish your entire medical history. Why not?” a moderator asked Fetterman.
“My doctor thinks I have a fit to serve and I’m there,” Fetterman said.
The factor comes after Republicans insisted that Fetterman release his medical records after suffering a stroke in mid-May, and Oz’s crusade used an attack to claim the Democrat is not worthy of serving a six-year term in the Senate. Fetterman published a letter from his doctor last week that authorized Fetterman to work in the Senate, but declined to disclose further details about his condition.
Dr. Mehmet Oz, who campaigned as an anti-abortion candidate supporting exceptions for rape or incest, clarified his position on abortion in Tuesday’s debate and emphasized that the federal government deserves not to be involved in those decisions.
The Republican then criticized John Fetterman, accusing him of failing to comply with a “federally mandated rule” to allow abortion until it is nationally viable. with the states’ resolution,” but refrained from explicitly saying he would vote against a proposal by Sen. Lindsey Graham that would impose a federal government procedural ban.

The candidates were asked if they supported raising the minimum wage to $7. 25 according to the hour.
Democrat John Fetterman said yes and said he supports a “living wage. “
When asked how he would respond to claims that a $15 minimum wage would put others out of work, he stressed the importance of Pennsylvanians living with dignity.
Mehmet Oz agreed that the minimum wage should be higher, but said “market forces” were already driving it.
“John Fetterman is pulling too low,” Oz said, adding that his opponent thinks “minimum wage is an allowance from his parents. “
John Fetterman and Dr. Mehmet Oz described themselves as disconnected from the electorate in relation to the economic tensions caused by emerging inflation.
“Dr. Oz can’t perceive what it is. It has 10 gigantic mansions,” Fetterman said. We want to fight corporate greed. “
“The irony is that he didn’t pay for his own house,” Oz replied. “Her sister gave it to her for $1 and she couldn’t make a living. “
Democrat John Fetterman opened the debate by calling Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz a “liar. “
“There’s something I call the ‘Rule of Oz,’ that if he’s on TV, it’s a lie,” Fetterman said, stumbling over his problems with his hearing remedy caused by his stroke in mid-May. “He did it in his career on his TV show. He did it in his campaign, lying about our record here. And he’s probably lying in this debate as well. “
Oz hit back, pointing to his lack of enjoyment as a politician as a force “because Washington helps keep doing it wrong. “
Fetterman, who is recovering from a stroke he suffered in May, opened his debate in the evening by saying, “Hello, good evening everyone. “

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (R) said she “does not meet the COVID vaccine requirement for children,” before accusing Dixon of peddling conspiracy theories about the vaccine.
Dixon questioned Whitmer’s characterization and noted that he won the debate.

Republican Tudor Dixon said he would support parents to protest suggestive books in school libraries, while Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) said it was a ploy by Republicans to separate communities.

“What those parents talk about is not textbooks that help kids get to know each other, it’s books that tell kids how to have sex and parents are outraged about that across the state,” Dixon said. Parents who need to make sure we get back to the basics of reading, writing and math in our schools. “
Whitmer said, “We also have a duty to make sure that all young people feel accepted and can be informed and play when they’re in school,” adding, “I see politicians looking to pit communities at odds with each other. It is harmful and He is selfish. “
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer blamed the “three months” of out-of-school children for the COVID-19 pandemic for students who were not meeting educational goals.
“We’ve also had historically demanding situations in recent years, to put it lightly,” he said.
Republican Tudor Dixon disputed Whitmer’s claims that the youths were out of school for 3 months.
“I’m surprised that she thinks schools were only closed for 3 months or thinks she can convince you that schools were only closed for 3 months, but you know more because your students are the ones who are desperately late,” he says.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer defended her record of inflation against attacks by Republican Tudor Dixon.
“The governor can’t fix overall inflation, but what I can do is put more money in his pocket and that’s precisely what we did by running bipartisanly with a Republican legislature,” he said in Tuesday’s debate.
Dixon claimed Whitmer vetoed the bill that would have cut taxes and said, “This governor hasn’t done anything about inflation, but I’d pay him back the cash, I’d make sure we have this children’s tax credit. “
Whitmer denied the accusation and called the law he vetoed a “hoax. “

“We know parental consent to Proposition 3,” said Republican Tudor Dixon. “It also means you don’t have to be a doctor to perform an abortion, but it aligns with [Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s] agenda. In her past, she voted to oppose banning partial-birth abortion. And the 3rd proposal allows abortion up to the moment of birth for any reason, adding sex selection. “
In her rebuttal, Whitmer said this is “why you can’t accept as truth everything she says about reproductive rights,” and accused her of making “a 14-year-old girl raped by her uncle the best example of someone who shouldn’t have the ability to decide when it comes to reproductive rights. She went further and said it is a cure for a user who has been raped to carry this child to term. I couldn’t disagree more and have shown that you can’t. accept as true with her on this subject.
