While Fetterman is able to engage one-on-one - and has resumed campaign travel - he has more difficulty chaotic auditory environments, according to The WashingtonPost.
'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 the paper. '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,' Katz added.
On Tuesday, Fetterman said he would not be attending an early September debate, pointing to comments Oz and members of his campaign had made about the Democrat's stroke recovery.
'Today's statement from Dr. Oz's team made it abundantly clear that they think it is funny to mock a stroke survivor. I chose not to participate in this farce,' said Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in May, just days before the Pennsylvania primary.
Oz's campaign had released a series of 'concessions' the GOP candidate would make if Fetterman agreed to participate in a debate broadcast by Pittsburgh's CBS affiliate, KDKA-TV, on September 6.
The list alluded to Fetterman's stroke by saying that Oz would permit the Democrat to have 'his notes in front of him along with an earpiece,' bathroom breaks at any time and said Oz's campaign would 'pay for any additional medical personnel [Fetterman] might need to have on standby.'
'Doctor Oz promises not to intentionally hurt John's feelings at any point,' it also said.
Fetterman's stroke, which was caused by an unregulated heart condition, had kept the Democrat off the trail for months, with the hopeful admitting to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in July that he may 'miss a word' or 'slur two together.'

We'll be the judge of that, and how exactly do we know Fetterman will recover? Not everyone does.
I will second that, He is not qualified to be senator.
Good thing being a Senator doesn’t involve debates, speeches, hearings, etc... The man is obviously not in a condition to do the job. We have enough senile husks in the Senate and Oval Office already.
Fetterman’s politics suck, but on a human level, I can feel sorry for him to have debility strike at this moment. But delibility it is (and likely to get worse), and he should bow out now. Dr. Oz is definitely not my dream candidate, but his surrogates should ask who the governor means to appoint to fill the Senate seat post election if Fetterman wins. Because that is where this will end up.
New Nersey sent Frank Lautenberg back to the senate after he was so riddled with dementia that he couldn’t make public appearances so there’s precedent. Hell, Bidens in the White House for that matter.
Perhaps he is unfit to be in the race for Senate.
Same here in Indiana. Julia Carson was effectively comatose yet continued serving in the House until she passed. They only wheeled her into the hall when her vote was reqd.
In other words, he is now functionally stupid.
Pennsylvania Ping!

“One of my uncles used to say that people would vote for Satan if he were running as a democrat.”
I would say they have already done that!
Wow that’s just priceless! He’s too sick to campaign, but well enough to represent Pennsylvania in the US Senate?
Only the Democraps could come up with something and rationalize it like that!
As a mockery to the Roman Senate, the Emperor Caligula appointed his horse to the Senate.
At least the horse had to be appointed.
The voters of PA would probably freely elect one.
The hits keep coming Johnny boy. The incredibly shrinking 6 foot eight monster is happening right before our very eyes. And it’s the daily male that’s taking him down. Timber
mentally unfit so serve
NEXT!
Can’t campaign but can perform Senate duties.
Hmmm....
So, how is this not going to affect his ability to perform the requirements of the office he seeks?
Oh yea, I guess we do have a brain-dead resident of the White House.
Maybe he should just fogeddiboutit.
“Auditory processing” — Who needs that, anyway? Especially in the Senate.
Sounds like he should be President.
If: Mental processing required
Then: Problem for leftists
