Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz will meet Tuesday night for their only debate two weeks before the midterm elections in a high-stakes Senate race in Pennsylvania that could decide which political party controls the upper chamber of Congress.
Much of the focus will be on Fetterman’s fitness for office after the Keystone State’s lieutenant governor suffered a stroke in May that kept him away from the campaign for most of the summer and has left him struggling at times to speak in public appearances.
Fetterman will use a closed-captioning monitor to read the questions posed by the moderators at the hour-long debate, which will begin at 8 p.m.
Fetterman used a similar setup during a controversial interview with NBC News earlier this month that Oz said raised questions about whether the Democrat is fit to carry out the duties of a senator.
