Lt Gov Fetterman To Return To Key Senate Campaign Soon

US

Key Democrat Senate candidate Lt Gov John Fetterman has told reporters that he will soon be fit to return to the campaign trail following a stroke on May 13.

  • Fetterman's Pennsylvania Senate race is one of the key races for Democrats in November and Fetterman will have to flip the open seat of outgoing Republican Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) if Democrats are to have any chance of retraining control of the chamber in November.
  • Fetterman hasn't appeared in public for nearly two months but his spokesman Joe Calvello said today: “He is about 90% back to full strength and getting better."
  • Fetterman is running against Trump endorsed celebrity heart surgeon Mehmet Oz and betting firm Smarkets currently shows Fetterman with a 55.25% implied probability of winning the seat.
  • The latest AARP poll shows Fetterman with a six percent lead over Oz.
