The underlying message in the Democrats' closing argument was that Oz, who was criticized over the years foron his long-running syndicated television show, wasn't trustworthy enough to earn the vote of Pennsylvanians.
Biden, a Scranton native, needled Oz for moving from New Jersey last year to run for the seat. “I lived in Pennsylvania longer than Oz has lived in Pennsylvania, and I moved away when I was 10 years old,” Biden told the crowd. Oz has spent the race’s final weeks arguing that he is the true moderate, saying he’ll fight extremism if elected. He’s spent millions on ads portraying Fetterman as a left-wing radical, attacking the Democrat’s record on crime and work on the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons.
But while he played the moderate on Sunday, the night before was a different story as Oz rallied with former President Donald Trump and Mastriano at an airport outside Pittsburgh. Democrats have also argued that Oz is to the right of retiring Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., on guns. The gun safety group Everytown, which had backed Toomey in the past, has been running ads criticizing both Oz and Mastriano on the issue.
A longtime Republican who switched her registration to Democrat following Trump’s victory, Howland is featured in a pro-Fetterman ad that began airing last month. While she says she expected people in the area to vote for Fitzpatrick, the Republican congressman, and then Democrats in the statewide races, she hadn’t heard of party splits in the major statewide races.
