Five takeaways from the Fetterman-Oz debate in Pennsylvania

HARRISBURG, Pa. — John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz took part in Pennsylvania’s first and only Senate debate on Tuesday as polls show the race narrowing ahead of Election Day.

 

The hour-long forum — presented by Nexstar, which also owns The Hill — shone a spotlight on Fetterman’s recovery from a stroke as the Democrat at times struggled to answer questions coherently. Oz, a former TV personality, appeared to be in his element, on the other hand.

 

But policy issues like the economy, abortion and fracking also took center stage throughout the night.
