Friday marks the first step back onto the public campaign stage for Lt. Gov. John Fetterman since he suffered a stroke just before the May Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
The Republican nominee, Mehmet Oz, sought to upstage that return by committing Friday to five televised debates in September and October.
“John Fetterman’s campaign also received invitations to these debates, but his campaign has not yet committed to any of these debates or any other debate with Dr. Oz,” said his campaign, dismissing Fetterman’s time recuperating from the stroke as “a 90-day break.”
