Fetterman, who had a stroke just before the Democratic primary in May, has made few public appearances since winning his party\u2019s nomination. He continues to experience auditory processing issues that prevent him from promptly responding to what he hears.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman asked for the use of closed captioning during the debate and for two practice sessions in the studio, according to the Oz campaign.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/09\/13\/GettyImages-1243149440.jpg\"><\/a> State Lt.
