The Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race is heating up between Democrat candidate John Fetterman and Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz. The open seat is crucial in determining the Senate’s balance of power.
Although Fetterman has had a consistent lead in the race, Republicans are hopeful Oz will help keep the Senate seat red, despite key differences between the two candidates.
According to political analyst Terry Madonna, senior fellow in residence for political affairs at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, the two candidates greatly differ in personalities, styles and policies.
“I mean, it’s rare to find those kinds of huge differences,” Madonna said despite the polls being close. “I’ve not seen a single poll that shows a double-digit lead for either.”
Fetterman has been off the campaign trail for months due to a sudden stroke, and Oz put up a good fight in the primary against opponent David McCormick, which Oz ultimately won.
Oz, who is backed by President Trump, is arguing that Fetterman is too extreme for Pennsylvania while Fetterman is calling out Oz for recently moving to Pennsylvania after living in New Jersey for three decades.
Meanwhile, the two candidates career paths couldn’t be more different yet fighting to end up in the same position.
While Oz is a heart surgeon and T.V. personality, Fetterman is the former mayor of Braddock, Penn. and the current lieutenant governor.
Yet several differences, they both know how to take aim at each other.
Oz has posted several Twitter memes calling attention to high gas prices with a photo of the Democrat with the words “Fetterman Fee,” similar to the Joe Biden stickers plastered at various gas stations saying “I did that” pointing to the prices.
The doctor also wished his opponent a quick recovery after suffering a stroke with a video of Oz jogging saying “I’ve been praying for him. I’m glad he’s OK… now that he’s back, Fetterman can’t keep hiding forever…Joe Biden hid in his basement. How did that work out for us? I’m glad Fetterman’s healthy, so we can worry less about his heart and hoodie and more about the crazy leftist ideas in his head.”
Meanwhile, Fetterman took the opportunity to slam Oz with a campaign video featuring Former “Jersey Shore” cast member Nicole “Snooki” LaValle questioning Oz’s ties to New Jersey.
“Hey, Mehmet! This is Nicole — Snooki… I’m a hot mess on a reality show, basically, and I enjoy life,” Lavalle said in the video, adding “I heard that you moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania to look for a new job, and personally, I don’t know why anyone would want to leave Jersey, because it’s like the best place ever, and we’re all hot messes, but I want to say best of luck to you. I know you’re away from home and you’re in a new place, but Jersey will not forget you. I just want to let you know, I will not forget you,” she said in a mocking tone.
According to the Epoch Times, Pennsylvania voters are shifting away from voting Democrat. As of July, Pennsylvania’s Department of State voter registration shows 10,972 voters have switched their party from Republican to Democrat, while 35,600 voters have switched from Democrat to Republican.
“That’s because the Democratic Party has become the party of the left…Over the past decade, the Democrats became a much more progressive party, and there are profound differences,” Madonna said.

I was (and continue to be) a Kathy Barnett supporter.
But now it is time to get behind this nominee who was my close second....and be thankful that McCormick has been sent back to Long Island.
Just leave the seat up please.
Regardless which one wins Pa abs America lose
Key differences? They’re both anti-Trump Democrats! Case closed!
Yeah but one of those two Democrats one is coming for your children. And that one has no choice but to come for your children. You probably don’t have any children of an age to worry about sick assholes like Fetterman.
It's a shame that Oz is the best available choice to the voters, but Pennsylvania voters better hold their noses and vote for Dr. Oz.
Carpetbaggers are usually the lowest of the low. Let's face it, where would the Democrat Party be without their carpetbaggers? I'm looking at you, Hillary. Virginia was nigh on destroyed by carpetbaggers: Mornan, Kaine, McAuliffe, Warner.
Looks like this thread has unleashed the PA NeverTrumpers.
Nope. Some just realize the fix is in in Pennsylvania
Fetterman ran on him being mayor of Braddock. Having driven thru that town its nothing to brag about. It could stand in for a town that was bombed in WW2. And I hope OZ brings up the time Fetterman held a black guy at shotgun point because he heard gun shots. Turns out the poor guy was innocent and Fetterman got away with illegal restraint.
How can so many Penn people be such dopes?
Are they never Trumper‘s or Turkish Muslim haters? Masquerading as never Trumpers. When I read this thread anything to do with doctor Oz there’s always that Turkish Muslim undertone from the 2001 period . In my opinion John Federman is nothing more then a freaking hitman. You can tell the difference between a doctor and the hitman go back to New Jersey to get Reeducated.
So you’re now supporting Oz?
Yes.
My support would rise above lukewarm if he were to renounce his Turkish citizenship.
Dual citizens should not be permitted to serve in Federal office.
See my reply # 16.
I have no love for Muslims or Turks.
He said he was going to renounce his Turkish citizenship if he won the Pennsylvania primary. Getting back to Fetterman and the shotgun affair in 2013 it’s the real deal. He held a black jogger with a shotgun because he felt he was the perp. That to me speaks volumes about the sick Mr. Fetterman!
Hey I understand love can diminish but hate is eternal. Yes ask those Democrats that voted for Biden because they hated Trump. How’s that working out for you? How’s your little old 401(k) doing?
“and be thankful that McCormick has been sent back to Long Island.”
McCormick would have won in a walk in Nov. I have my doubts about Dr Odd pulling it out.
