The open seat is crucial in determining the Senate\u2019s balance of power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although Fetterman has had a consistent lead in the race, Republicans are hopeful Oz will help keep the Senate seat red, despite key differences between the two candidates.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to political analyst Terry Madonna, senior fellow in residence for political affairs at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, the two candidates greatly differ in personalities, styles and policies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, it\u2019s rare to find those kinds of huge differences,\u201d Madonna said despite the polls being close. \u201cI\u2019ve not seen a single poll that shows a double-digit lead for either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman has been off the campaign trail for months due to a sudden stroke, and Oz put up a good fight in the primary against opponent David McCormick, which Oz ultimately won.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oz, who is backed by President Trump, is arguing that Fetterman is too extreme for Pennsylvania while Fetterman is calling out Oz for recently moving to Pennsylvania after living in New Jersey for three decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the two candidates career paths couldn\u2019t be more different yet fighting to end up in the same position.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Oz is a heart surgeon and T.V. personality, Fetterman is the former mayor of Braddock, Penn. and the current lieutenant governor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet several differences, they both know how to take aim at each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oz has posted several Twitter memes calling attention to high gas prices with a photo of the Democrat with the words \u201cFetterman Fee,\u201d similar to the Joe Biden stickers plastered at various gas stations saying \u201cI did that\u201d pointing to the prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The doctor also wished his opponent a quick recovery after suffering a stroke with a video of Oz jogging saying \u201cI\u2019ve been praying for him. I\u2019m glad he\u2019s OK\u2026 now that he\u2019s back, Fetterman can\u2019t keep hiding forever\u2026Joe Biden hid in his basement. How did that work out for us? I\u2019m glad Fetterman\u2019s healthy, so we can worry less about his heart and hoodie and more about the crazy leftist ideas in his head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Fetterman took the opportunity to slam Oz with a campaign video featuring Former \u201cJersey Shore\u201d cast member Nicole \u201cSnooki\u201d LaValle questioning Oz\u2019s ties to New Jersey.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, Mehmet! This is Nicole \u2014 Snooki\u2026 I\u2019m a hot mess on a reality show, basically, and I enjoy life,\u201d Lavalle said in the video, adding \u201cI heard that you moved from New Jersey to Pennsylvania to look for a new job, and personally, I don\u2019t know why anyone would want to leave Jersey, because it\u2019s like the best place ever, and we\u2019re all hot messes, but I want to say best of luck to you. I know you\u2019re away from home and you\u2019re in a new place, but Jersey will not forget you. I just want to let you know, I will not forget you,\u201d she said in a mocking tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/oz-and-fetterman-pennsylvania-senate-race-tight-despite-differences_4600841.html\">Epoch Times<\/a>, Pennsylvania voters are shifting away from voting Democrat. As of July, Pennsylvania\u2019s Department of State voter registration shows 10,972 voters have switched their party from Republican to Democrat, while 35,600 voters have switched from Democrat to Republican.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s because the Democratic Party has become the party of the left\u2026Over the past decade, the Democrats became a much more progressive party, and there are profound differences,\u201d Madonna said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race is heating up between Democrat candidate John Fetterman and Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz.
