Pennsylvania Senate Candidate Fetterman Now Refusing to Debate After February Promise – By Charles Kim (Newsmax) / Sept 2, 2022
Citing his health and a recent stroke, Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is now refusing to debate Republican challenger Dr. Mehmet Oz despite promising “several” debates in a Twitter post this February.
“We are working to figure out what a fair debate would look like with the lingering impacts of the auditory processing in mind,” Fetterman campaign strategist Rebecca Katz told The Washington Post Wednesday. “To be absolutely clear, the occasional issues he is having with auditory processing have no bearing on his ability to do the job as senator. John is healthy and fully capable of showing up and doing the work.”
Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor under Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, won the Democratic primary in the state in May shortly after suffering a stroke, and returned to the campaign trail in August, The New York Times reported Aug. 31.
In February, the candidate promised on Twitter to be part of “no fewer than three” debates.
