Fetterman may be a unique candidate w/ positions that make him hard to define politically. But national Dems are eager to get behind him in PA. "I saw the President walking around in shorts and a Carhartt earlier," joked a Biden adviser. More here: https://t.co/Q1Kps2h0nK — PolitiTweet.org

A win for John Fetterman in PA on Tuesday would be a win for the unconventional candidate. A supporter’s view: “When I was texting my friend this morning that I was coming, I said ‘He is the Bo Bice of politics.’” On Fetterman’s appeal: https://t.co/PFwWkDPmOK — PolitiTweet.org

At an event where her campaign barred reporters from attending, candidate Kathy Barnette cast her top two Republican opponents, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dave McCormick, as fake conservatives and “globalists” who were overly fixated on her rise. Our story: https://t.co/s05Ope0YN6 — PolitiTweet.org

Oz “never used his public platform to push any of our America First agenda. He has never. And now we are being told he is a MAGA conservative,” Barnette said. On the attacks against her: “The swamp does not only consist of Democrats.” — PolitiTweet.org

Kathy Barnette accused Oz and McCormick of pandering to conservatives to get elected during a closed press event on Saturday. “I believe the Republican Party has the best story. ... We keep picking people who suck at telling our story.” Our story: https://t.co/s05Ope0YN6 — PolitiTweet.org
