Pennsylvania Lt. Gov, John Fetterman and his allies were on damage control Wednesday, trying to write off his cringe-worthy debate performance in the Senate race against Republican Mehmet Oz as both the result of his stroke and the fact he has never shined on the debate stage.
The post-debate analysis was in general brutal for Mr. Fetterman. The 53-year-old Democrat walked onto the stage in Harrisburg, Pa. as his party’s best hope of flipping a Republican seat and left on shakier ground after fueling more questions about his overall health.
“He certainly didn’t pick up any support,” said G. Terry Madonna of Millersville University of Pennsylvania. “The question that remains is: Did he lose support?”
The 60-minute showdown offered a stark contrast in styles and policy visions.
