Related: About this forumThe Philadelphia Inquirer just endorsed John Fetterman!
John Fetterman is the best choice to represent Pennsylvanias priorities in the U.S. Senate.
The Republican nominee, Mehmet Oz, is wholly unprepared to be the commonwealths U.S. senator.

There is still much more work to be done in Washington on issues that Pennsylvanians care about, including protecting abortion rights and restoring the enhanced child tax credit, which reduced hunger and poverty in our state and across the nation. These initiatives and others could potentially stall in Congress divided upper house. That is just one reason why it is crucial for Pennsylvania voters to elect John Fetterman to the U.S. Senate in November.
There is no reason Fetterman cannot serve effectively after his stroke. Fetterman said that one of the most significant challenges of his recovery involves auditory processing a condition in which his comprehension of certain words and phrases is occasionally delayed. During interviews, Fetterman does often take a few seconds to ensure that he has understood a questioner correctly and he may take a couple of moments more to collect his thoughts and find the right words but that should not significantly impair him from performing in his role as a senator. Fetterman knows what his values are and is capable of communicating them.
The same cannot be said for his opponent, Mehmet Oz, a man wholly unprepared to be Pennsylvanias U.S. senator. Oz has refused to commit to opposing a national abortion ban, opposes the expanded child tax credit, would repeal the Affordable Care Act, and would vote against red flag gun-control laws. Those positions are all reversals from views that Oz held as a Republican just a few years ago. If there are any values that Oz holds dear, it is difficult to ascertain what they are.
