John Fetterman rallies at Temple University days after halting debate performance

PHILADELPHIA — With the neck-and-neck U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania entering its final days, a determined-sounding Democratic nominee John Fetterman took aim at Republican opponent Mehmet Oz at a campaign rally on the Temple University campus Saturday, and also acknowledged his stroke-related language difficulties.

“You know the debate wasn’t easy,” said Fetterman, referring to auditory processing difficulties that affected his recent showdown with Oz.

“But I was always committed to showing up,” he continued. “After that stroke, I got knocked down, but I got back up. The core value of our campaign is we are running for anyone that has ever gotten knocked down and had to head back up, too.”
