New: Fetterman campaign says it will convert this Oz abortion answer into a paid attack ad, per spokesman @the_vello 👇 https://t.co/ljhst7cMpv — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Oz says Fetterman supports eliminating the filibuster. "That's true," Fetterman chimes in. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz both say they oppose expanding the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

John Fetterman endorses Joe Biden's debt forgiveness action. "I do absolutely support that." He says it's about "helping young learners." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Asked if he favors a Biden 2024 run, Fetterman says it's the president's choice. "If he does choose to run, I would absolutely support him." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Oz doesn't say whether he'll support a Trump presidential run in 2024. "I'll support whoever the Republican Party puts up," he says. Asked again, Oz says: "I would support Donald Trump if he decided to run for president." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Mehmet Oz declines to say if he'd have voted for the recent bipartisan gun bill, which Pat Toomey supported. He says there are "parts of that bill that I like a lot." Moderator follows up, Oz doesn't give a yes or no. "I would have tried to improve that bill." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Oz, asked if he or his organization made a profit from promoting unproven treatments, says: "I never sold weight loss products as described in those commercials. It's a television show like this is a television show." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

RT @RadioFreeTom: Oz, asked three times if he'd vote for Graham's bill, never says yes or no. Moderators give up. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Oz, asked how he'd vote on Lindsey Graham's 15-week abortion ban, says he's "not going to support federal rules" that override states on abortion. "Any bill that violates what I said, which is the federal gov't interfering with the state rule on abortion, I would vote against." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Oz is asked if he favors a nationwide abortion ban except for the limited exceptions. "There should not be involvement from the federal government in how states decide their abortion decisions," he says. "I don't want the federal government involved with that at all." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Minimum wage question — it's currently $7.25 in Pennsylvania. Fetterman endorses a $15 minimum wage. Oz doesn't back a federal wage hike. "I want to highlight that I have an agenda for prosperity," he says, saying he wants "market forces" to drive up wages. — PolitiTweet.org

SOON: Pennsylvania Senate debate between @JohnFetterman (D) and @DrOz (R). Maybe the most important debate of the 2022 election. https://t.co/uLeO1GPoON — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Lee Zeldin stands by his vote to block the counting of pro-Biden electors on the night of Jan. 6. "The vote was on two states: Pennsylvania and Arizona. The issue still remains today," he says. "Election integrity should always matter." He calls for voter ID in New York. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

QUESTION: Do you want to see Joe Biden run for president in 2024: HOCHUL: "Yes I do." QUESTION: Do you want to see Donald Trump run for president in 2024? ZELDIN: "Not even thinking about it." — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

Kathy Hochul, asked if she favors any abortion limits, says the end of Roe doesn't affect NY only "because I'm the governor of the state of New York and he's not." Lee Zeldin doesn't say if he'd sign an abortion ban, says there's a "0% chance" NY legislature sends him that bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

NY GOV debate is feisty. Zeldin (R) emphasizes crime. Gov. Hochul (D) calls him weak on crime for voting against gun safety bill; hits his votes to overturn 2020 election, against infrastructure bill & IRA. "I know you're an election denier — but also a climate change denier." — PolitiTweet.org

A jarring unforced error here by @USProgressives. Jayapal says Ukraine letter was "drafted several months ago" but "released by staff without vetting." She claims responsibility. She laments the "unfortunate appearance" it created as Democratic signers have gotten slammed for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump could have had his border wall money and claimed credit for codifying DACA in 2018. But Trump and his administration blew up the deal by demanding it include cuts to family-based immigration. Numerous Republicans saw this as a big missed opportunity. https://t.co/9MkMZ2i1Bf — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

.@LindseyGrahamSC and @MarcoRubio, two GOP authors of the 2013 bill, threw a bucket of cold water on a comprehensive immigration deal within hours of Biden being sworn in. The prospects have further deteriorated since then. https://t.co/Pu3A03vCSW — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur

And the 2013-era comprehensive immigration reform consensus (such as it was, i.e. Democrats plus a slice of business-aligned Republicans willing to break with the right wing) is dead and gone. The post-Trump GOP is in a very different place on this issue. — PolitiTweet.org

@Weathercoins @trowaman That’s plausible! My struggle with this state is blue TX turned out big in 2020 - and red TX responded by going bigger. And we’re seeing Latinos in south TX moving away from Ds. I can’t yet conclude an inexorable transformation to purple territory. — PolitiTweet.org
