His challenger, John Fetterman has become increasingly favored to win the Senate election in November, with numerous handicappers and analysts giving him the edge in the contest.<\/p>\n<p>The embattled Republican Senate candidate there is doubtlessly banking that Trump&#8217;s considerable star power will give him a much-needed boost.\u00a0Fetterman himself has been a fixture in Pennsylvania Democratic politics for years, having served in his current role since 2019 and previously as mayor of the town of Braddock from 2006 until he became lieutenant governor.<\/p>\n<p>Oz throughout the late summer has struggled to maintain an edge against Fetterman after having won the Republican primary in early June. <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/polls\/senate\/2022\/pennsylvania\/\">Numerous polls <\/a>put Oz as much as 13 points behind Fetterman with just two months to go in the election.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Much can happen in two months, of course, and Trump&#8217;s continued support of Oz will likely play a critical role in closing that gap as November draws near. Trump himself has enthusiastically endorsed the Republican candidate over the course of the race.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[H]e\u2019s tough, he\u2019s smart and he really loves our country and he wants to do a great job for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,&#8221; the former president said of Oz in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump delivered blistering broadsides against Democratic politicians in Pennsylvania on Saturday night, urging voters to cast their ballots for Republicans in November as he declared that, under the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1632459,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1632457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1632457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1632457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1632457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1632459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1632457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1632457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1632457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
