Gov. John Fetterman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"speakable\">The editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette <a href=\"https:\/\/www.post-gazette.com\/opinion\/editorials\/2022\/10\/30\/pennsylvania-senate-endorsement-mehmet-oz-john-fetterman\/stories\/202210210102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">issued its endorsement<\/a> on Sunday, telling readers Oz was the candidate &#8220;better prepared to lead,&#8221; and citing concerns over Fetterman&#8217;s lack of transparency regarding his health and lack of real-world experience as reasons for the endorsement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe Mr. Oz is the better bet for Pennsylvania,&#8221; the board wrote, before writing that Fetterman&#8217;s health stemming from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/pennsylvania-u-s-senate-candidate-john-fetterman-suffers-stroke-says-recovery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the stroke he suffered<\/a> earlier this year was not an issue for them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His lack of transparency, however,\u00a0in refusing to release his medical records is troubling. It suggests an impulse to conceal and a mistrust of the people. All candidates for a major elected office should release their medical records, as did Mr. Oz. If you want privacy, don\u2019t run for public office,&#8221; it added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fetterman-says-pennsylvania-senate-debate-wasnt-easy-blames-performance-against-oz-stroke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FETTERMAN SAYS PENNSYLVANIA SENATE \u2018DEBATE WASN\u2019T EASY,&#8217; BLAMES PERFORMANCE AGAINST OZ ON STROKE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/640\/320\/R0H6fa7M.jpg?ve=1&#038;tl=1\" alt=\"Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz participates in a debate with his Democratic challenger John Fetterman on Oct. 25, 2022, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p>\n      Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz participates in a debate with his Democratic challenger John Fetterman on Oct. 25, 2022, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.<br \/>\n      <span class=\"copyright\">(NewsNation)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The board wrote that Fetterman&#8217;s &#8220;life experience and maturity&#8221; were also concerns because he &#8220;lived off his family\u2019s money for much of his life,&#8221; and had &#8220;little experience in holding real jobs or facing the problems of working people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It also cited Fetterman&#8217;s lack of apology over in an incident in which he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fetterman-defends-pulling-shotgun-black-jogger-2013-explains-why-he-would-would-not-do-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pulled a shotgun<\/a> on an unarmed Black jogger after hearing gunshots, and his flip-flop on supporting fracking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mr. Oz is\u00a0extraordinarily wealthy, but achieved his worldwide fame and success largely through his own talent and determination,&#8221; the board wrote. &#8220;Unlike most Republican politicians, candidate Oz spent a lot of time in poor urban neighborhoods, talking to people and, most important, listening and learning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-spends-little-time-talking-fetterman-oz-pennsylvania-rally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BIDEN SPENDS LITTLE TIME TALKING ABOUT FETTERMAN DURING PENNSYLVANIA RALLY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It wrote that Oz was more moderate on some issues than he has been portrayed, and that it didn&#8217;t think he would be &#8220;a stooge&#8221; of more conservative Republicans or Senate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/mitch-mcconnell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/640\/320\/FgCTaYgXEAAJKwg.jpg?ve=1&#038;tl=1\" alt=\"John Fetterman speaks to supporters in Pittsburgh a day after his debate with Dr. Mehmet Oz.\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p>\n      John Fetterman speaks to supporters in Pittsburgh a day after his debate with Dr. Mehmet Oz.<br \/>\n      <span class=\"copyright\">(John Fetterman\/Twitter)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re encouraged that Mr. Oz is portraying himself as a unifier who will work with Democrats to get things done for Pennsylvania.
