John Fetterman Will Skip First Debate

“Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman (D) said he won’t participate in a debate against his opponent Mehmet Oz (R) during the first week of September, citing his ongoing recovery from a recent stroke,” The Hill reports.

“Fetterman in his announcement also called out Oz’s campaign over a mocking statement it released earlier that day in which it listed several ‘concessions’ it would make if the Democrat agreed to a debate. Among them was payment for ‘additional medical personnel [Fetterman] might need to have on standby.’”
