Philadelphia Inquirer editorial board endorses Fetterman for Congress: Oz ‘wholly unprepared to be US senator’
.
The Philadelphia Inquirer‘s editorial board on Sunday not only endorsed Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman but also argued that his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, is “wholly unprepared” for the role.
The newspaper—founded nearly two centuries ago—made the move less than a month before the midterm elections. Early voting in Pennsylvania is done by mail; voters can request a no-excuse mail-in ballot until 5:00 pm ET on November 1.
Fetterman and Oz’s contest is one of a few closely watched races—along with those in Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin—that will determine whether Democrats lose their narrow control of the U.S. Senate for the next two years.
The Inquirer‘s board wrote Sunday that U.S. President Joe Biden’s first two years “have been fruitful for Pennsylvania” but “there is still much more work to be done in Washington on issues that Pennsylvanians care about,” and progress on priorities such as protecting abortion rights and restoring the enhanced child tax credit could stall in a split Senate.
“That is just one reason why it is crucial for Pennsylvania voters to elect John Fetterman to the U.S. Senate in November,” the board said. “An experienced public servant, Fetterman has an abundance of the kind of values and priorities that are needed to move the nation forward.”
