This is awkward, but Fetterman is an awkward candidate and having lost the debate is just down to Oprah.
The top Democratic Senate super PAC is rushing to put Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement of John Fetterman on the airwaves.
It is launching a new television ad featuring the superstar’s announcement on Thursday evening that she supports Fetterman in Pennsylvania’s race for the Senate.
The ad will air statewide starting Saturday, said Veronica Yoo, a spokesperson for Senate Majority PAC. The group did not specify how much money it is spending to air the commercial, only saying it would make up a “significant part” of its final advertising.
The Dems are throwing their last Pennsylvania efforts into bombarding viewers with the information that a famously Democrat celeb endorsed the Democrat candidate?
The only way to make any sense of this is that they believe that Mehmet Oz is in the running because of his connection to Oprah and not because under the current wave of public backlash, a drunk duck running on the GOP line in a state with any swing left to it would have a shot.
The Oprah demographic is generally a safe bet to vote along party lines.
Fetterman is already winning the female vote by a sizable margin. He’s just losing every other demo.
Fetterman, meanwhile, is cementing his lead among women voters, who prefer him by an 18% margin, up from 13% in September. Even more pronounced is his rise among Black voters, who now prefer him to Oz by 63%, compared to 34% in September.
The letter is not great considering that black voters routinely weigh in by 80% for the Dems, but the Dems are blowing through their case in the state to focus on the voters Fetterman already has, not the swing voters he needs. I doubt Oprah’s fanbase is really in contention anyway. But instead of trying to make some sort of moderate case for Fetterman, they’re going all in on Oprah ads.
This is really the campaign pros throwing in the towel.
The Oz turnaround has been most pronounced among Pennsylvania independents, who now favor him over Fetterman 43%-32%—although a sizable 19% of independents remain undecided. In September, Fetterman led 43%-29% among independents, with 21% undecided.
Oz has opened up a 16% lead among men, up from 2% in September, as well as a 7% advantage among white voters, compared to just 2% in September.
Oprah ain’t fixing that.
They will cheat in Philly, with enough precincts going 100% for Fetterman to put him over the top.
Here in Pittsburgh too. I do not really expect an accurate vote count.
Proving once again how ignorant and emotional women and blacks are, generally speaking.
So how come Jews who are generally thought of as highly intelligent, cerebral, and intellectual also overwhelmingly vote emotionally for Democrats?
Because there is a difference between being intelligent and being wise. Jews aren’t wise and they are their own worst enemies when it comes to politics. Science, math, etc, they are smart. Politics? Stupid as the day is long.

It is simply impossibly for me to understand how anyone beyond his immediate family can vote for Fetterman. Whether it’s wanting to let a third of convicted felons out of prison, legalizing addictive drugs, banning fracking (well, at least until he was in the campaign for the Senate), not paying his taxes, confronting an innocent black person with a shotgun, favoring abortion at least until the moment of birth, living on his parent’s dime until he was nearly fifty, and on and on his positions are extreme, his abilities minimal, and he is obviously unable to serve. What a country we have here.
If it weren’t for his inability to lead and his ability to be totally corrupt, he would have nothing to offer the democrats who will vote for him. There is always the voter hope there will be more freebies thrown their way.
Good point. Like “Yellow Dog Democrats” in days gone by 🙂
9 out 0f 10 polls in Pennsylvania grossly underestimate the Republican vote. If Oz is ahead by a point or two in the polls, it means that he’s really up 6 or 7 points.
That being said – how in God’s name can it be even that close??? In January there should be 435 Republican congress persons and all Democrat Senators running should be soundly defeated. The last 2 years of Democrat control under Biden have been the most disastrous 21 months in American history.
The Fetterman democrat: It’s true that Fetterman is a brain dead android, but tat’s no reason not to vote for him. If he can deliver the usual coalition of racist white haters, college educated fem fascists, antifa/BLM/hooligan malcontents, illegal aliens, drug trafficking cartel gangsters, ghetto blacks, et al, then the office is secured for a democrat governor to appoint a real radical to. The Fetterman vote and candidacy is thus highly valuable – even if Fetterman is not. .
