Oz will now face Democratic senate nominee John Fetterman in one of the most important races of the 2022 midterms. Fetterman, the state’s popular and idiosyncratic lieutenant governor, easily won the Democratic primary days after surviving a dangerous stroke. “I almost died,” Fetterman said Friday in a statement accompanying a long-awaited doctor’s letter regarding his health and ability to campaign.
Trump had pushed Oz to prematurely declare victory ; Oz ended up calling himself the “presumptive Republican” nominee instead. Oz lived in New Jersey prior to becoming a would-be Pennsylvania politician, which was the primary focus of the Fetterman campaign’s first fundraising pitch following Oz’s victory on Friday.
