Oz agrees to debate Fetterman on Oct. 25, if three conditions are met – By J.D. Prose (Pennlive) / Sept 14, 2022
Editor’s note: This story was updated to include new comments from Democrat John Fetterman’s campaign.
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz has agreed to debate Democratic opponent John Fetterman on Oct. 25 under three conditions.
Oz responded to the Fetterman campaign’s announcement Wednesday afternoon that the lieutenant governor had committed to a Nexstar Television debate in Harrisburg to be broadcast on nine affiliates reaching Pennsylvania voters.
Oz’s campaign said that Fetterman has asked for closed captioning to be used during the debate and for two practice sessions in the studio so that Fetterman could get used to the closed captioning system.
Fetterman has said he is experiencing auditory processing issues following his May 13 stroke that prevent him from quickly responding to what he is hearing.
