Last Friday, John Fetterman stepped on a stage in Erie, Penn., to give his first public rally since he suffered a stroke on May 13.
The Democrat running for Senate in Pennsylvania received a hero’s welcome from the crowd, who twirled Pittsburgh Steelers Terrible Towels in the air. The six-foot-eight, bald and goateed Fetterman sported his signature black hoodie with the sleeves pushed up to reveal large tattoos, as he went on to offer a comeback story that has always been his brand.
“Three months ago my life could have ended, but I’m so grateful to be here as well,” he said. Later, he joked, “There’s a lot of differences between me and Dr. Oz. Who would have ever thought that… who would ever think that I’d be the normal one in the race here?”
The crowd roared with laughter. Currently, polls show the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania ahead by 8.7% against the Trump-backed Dr. Mehmet Oz. But, during his 11-minute speech at the Bayfront Convention Center, Fetterman, 53, stumbled several times over his words, often repeating them, as his voice wavered. Several who were in the crowd that night told me they were worried about his health and ability to go the distance.
