As the race for U.S. Senate continues to tighten, Democrats are bringing a big name to Pittsburgh in support for John Fetterman.
Former President Barack Obama will join Fetterman this Saturday at a yet-to-be determined location ahead of Election Day, on November 8.
A New York Times-Siena College poll shows John Fetterman leading Republican candidate Dr. Memhet Oz by five points, 49 percent to 44 percent.
Website FiveThirtyEight shows Fetterman has just only a percentage point lead over Oz, 46.9 percent to 45.8 percent, well within the margin of error.
Fetterman has watched his double-digit lead shrink as millions have been spent on attack ads and the former Mayor of Braddock’s health has been called into question after suffering a stroke just before the primary.
Fetterman stumbled over his words at time during a debate last week. His camp claimed an issue with closed captioning, a claim debate organizers refuted.
But Fetterman’s campaign and his doctors have said he is fit to serve if elected to the Senate.
Recently in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned for Fetterman.
Former President Donald Trump has also made stops in Pennsylvania in support of Oz.
