U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman’s (D) recovery from a May stroke will be a central focus of his debate Tuesday with rival Mehmet Oz (R) as the two men seek an edge in their battle for a bitterly contested seat in Pennsylvania, Bloomberg reports.
Fetterman has been deemed fit for office by his primary care doctor, though he sometimes has trouble processing spoken words, an issue that was put on display in recent weeks as he relied on software during an NBC News interview. He will use a similar closed captioning device for the hour-long televised debate in Harrisburg.
Washington Post: “Tuesday’s debate will be a new test for Fetterman, who has eased his way back into a busier campaign schedule after spending much of the summer recovering off the trail.”
