On Tuesday night, U.S. Senate candidates John Fetterman (D) and Dr. Mehmet Oz (R) faced off in their first official debate as the midterm elections approach. During the debate between the two Pennsylvania candidates, Fetterman - who suffered a stroke in May - struggled to put together coherent sentences & defend his positions on important issues. In contrast, Oz came well-prepared and seemed confident in his answers. However, Oz is still working to win over conservatives in his party who have pointed out his less-than-conservative past. Below, we're breaking down the craziest moments from the debate that has already broken national headlines. All of the moments mentioned can be viewed in this video. #1. A Strange Opening.As the debate opened, the candidates were asked why they were qualified to be a U.S. senator. Fetterman, who was given the floor first, started his answer with, "Hi. Goodnight everybody." #2. "I've Always Supported Fracking."When one of the debate moderators questioned Fetterman's flip-flopping regarding fracking, the Lt. Governor chose not to acknowledge his anti-fracking past, simply saying, "I've always supported fracking." MODERATOR: "I do want to clarify something. You're saying tonight that you support fracking, that you've always supported fracking, but there is that 2018 interview that you said, 'I don't support fracking at all.' So how do you square the two?"
#3. The InterjectionWhile Oz was talking about Sen. Lindsey Graham's proposed federal abortion bill, Fetterman strangely interjected, yelling, "You roll with [gubernatorial candidate] Doug Mastriano!" #4. The Minimum WageA major topic during the Tuesday debate was the minimum wage. Fetterman struggled to get through his response supporting a higher wage for Pennsylvanians. All these clips and more can be viewed below:
The Pennsylvania senate race, described by many in the media as a "toss-up," will be a key race in determining who controls the Senate after November 8th.
