Key moments from Pennsylvania Senate debate
Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman has addressed the impact that the stroke he suffered this year had on his performance at this week’s debate with his opponent Mehmet Oz, an event where he appeared to struggle at times when answering questions from the moderators.
“Knew it wasn’t going to be easy after having a stroke after five months,” he told a crowd in Pittsburgh. “In fact, I don’t think it has ever been done before in American political history actually. You know, after that stroke, I got knocked down, but I got back up.”
Voters in Pennsylvania are now on the receiving end of an ad featuring former president Barack Obama, who is making a rare return to the campaign trail in an effort to boost Democrats’ struggling poll numbers in key races.
Meanwhile, Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker has once again found himself embroiled in scandal as a second woman claims he made her have an abortion, branding him a “hypocrite”. Mr Walker has responded by saying he is “done with this foolishness”. He is currently polling slightly behind Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock.
