Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman of Pennsylvania says he has agreed to an Oct. 25 televised debate against his Republican rival, Dr. Mehmet Oz.
To accommodate that, Fetterman asked the station for closed-captioning during the debate and two practice sessions in the studio ahead of time.It wants a moderator to tell the audience that Fetterman is using closed captioning to explain delays in his responses; practice sessions to not use actual debate questions; and the debate to be 90 minutes, instead of 60, because of closed-captioning delays.
“For weeks Oz and his team have wet the bed about debates,” Fetterman's campaign said. “Enough already, we are debating on the 25th, either show up or don’t, but now let's get back to talking about the issues that matter, like how Oz would vote on the Senate abortion ban.”
