Fetterman’s advisors are adamant that he will be ready to take on his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the former TV talk show host, in November.
“Heeyyyy everybody, hey!” Fetterman said, according to video of the session, provided to The Washington Post. “And, well one, thank you all, and let me just stop by saying, you know, we’re not the special guests, you’re all the special ones and I just want to thank you for doing this and, and, helping this campaign.”
Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman joined a campaign Zoom call on July 12, one of his first appearances since he suffered a stroke in May. Fetterman surprised volunteers with an in-person visit at a field office on Saturday and, according to a video posted on Twitter, told them he’d back on the trail “soon.” After the quick greeting on the Zoom call Tuesday, his campaign said, he appeared virtually at a fundraiser hosted by JStreetPAC, the political arm of the liberal pro-Israel group. That event lasted more than an hour, and he took questions from donors.
Democrats across the state say they remain committed to Fetterman’s candidacy and no one has seriously suggested that he should withdraw from the race because of his health. Joe Calvello, Fetterman’s spokesman, responded to a question about Fetterman not running with a string of profanities.“John Fetterman will be at the top of the ticket this November,” Calvello said.
The state has a long history of swinging between political parties, electing Barack Obama by sizable margins in 2008 and 2012, but picking Toomey in 2010 in that year’s tea party wave. Pennsylvania voters then chose Donald Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020.
