A day after Pennsylvania GOP Senate nominee Mehmet Oz again attacked John Fetterman over his refusal to debate, the Democratic lieutenant governor has committed to meeting his opponent.
Fetterman said in a statement Wednesday that he always intended to debate Oz and that the hold-up has"only ever been about addressing some of the lingering issues of my stroke, the auditory processing, and we're going to be able to work that out."Though he declined to provide specifics over where and when he planned to debate Oz, Fetterman said he was eyeing sometime"in the middle to end of October," adding,"We are still finalizing the details.
The Pennsylvania Senate seat is a top pick up opportunity for Democrats, who are defending their slim majority in the chamber this fall. The state narrowly voted for Joe Biden in 2020, four years after voters there narrowly backed Donald Trump.On Tuesday, Oz and retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey held a joint news conference to accuse Fetterman of either lying about his health or trying to dodge debate questions.
