Democratic Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s Senate campaign attempted to temper expectations one day before the stroke survivor’s debate with Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz — issuing a memo to reporters claiming the celebrity heart surgeon has “a huge built-in advantage.”

The candidates will take the stage on Tuesday in Harrisburg for their first and only debate before the Nov. 8 election. Fetterman will use a closed captioning system onstage to read questions from the moderators as he continues to suffer from “auditory processing challenges” as a result of his May stroke.

“Let’s be clear about this match-up: Dr. Oz has been a professional TV personality for the last two decades,” the Fetterman campaign wrote in the memo, which was shared on Twitter by Politico reporter Holly Otterbein.

“We’ll admit — this isn’t John’s format,” the memo continues. “Look no further than the debates from the primary earlier this year.”

Fetterman’s camp also pointed out that Oz has had a lot of practice in front of the camera, having filmed over 2,000 episodes of “The Dr. Oz Show” since 2009.

“If we’re all being honest, Oz clearly comes into Tuesday night with a huge built-in advantage,” the memo continued.

The lieutenant governor’s team also warned the media to be prepared for “awkward pauses” and Fetterman “missing some words, and mushing other words together.”

They also noted that a human will be typing out the moderator’s questions and exchanges between the candidates, so there may be “temporary miscommunications” and other delays.

The Fetterman campaign claimed that Tuesday night’s spectacle is “unprecedented,” as there has never been a closed captioned political debate in such a high-profile race before.

John Fetterman’s campaign seeks to lower expectations before Dr. Oz debate

They know he's going to get his ass kicked up one side and down the other. Maybe his attention whore wife can debate for him.
 
It's not just that Fetterman isn't physically up to the job...it's that his past policies...especially towards crime...are NOT what people in Pennsylvania want! Fetterman wasn't right for that position BEFORE he had the stroke! The stroke simply made the debate about his health instead of his far left agenda!

I think Biden should talk for him

That should be hilarious.

And I know democrats, that would not be fair, that would not be fair!!!
 
I wonder how many thousands of people who already voted for Fetterman want to change their vote now. By picking such a late date for the debate, Fetterman's people did him a big favor. But, unlike Hobbs in Arizona, another totalitarian dimwit, at least he debated.
 
Well, Fetterman's camp was right. He showed his total incompetence which wasn't even fair to the viewers.
