ERIE, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman acknowledged he was lucky to be alive as he officially returned to the campaign trail Friday, more than 90 days after the Democrat suffered a stroke that threatened his life and political prospects in one of the nation’s premier Senate contests.

Fetterman spoke for nearly 11 minutes, haltingly at times, as he addressed several hundred voters packed inside a convention center on the shores of Lake Erie. It was the 52-year-old lieutenant governor’s only scheduled public rally this month as he gradually ramps up his public schedule.

“Tonight for me, it’s about being grateful — just grateful,” said Fetterman, who stood for the duration of his remarks. “Three months ago my life could have ended. It’s the truth.”

He said he may not have survived his stroke if he was in rural Elk County instead of being just 20 minutes away from a major stroke facility.

2. Watching MSNBC this week in the evenings

I have seen multiple Fetterman ads - both his own and even more from the "End Citizens United PAC", which rolled out anti-Oz ads like this -

5. Great American. As real as can be is John Fetterman.

JOHN FETTERMAN is a true-blue Great American, who love his state of PA., love to see that. Hence, a real man, whose not a fake, fraud, at all, no con. Fetterman, unlike other fakes, deeply care about the community, his state, and others.

Easily able to relate to, hence, no filter. Love that about him, and I pray he continue to win, he deserve to, in November, and beyond.

Dr. Oz is fooling so many, no wonder alot of people stopped watching his show, stopped believing in him, or so I've seen with ratings etc.

Dr. Oz is a New Jerseyan, but feign to be about PA., even if both states are clearly near each other, sure, but he is not a Pennsylvania fella. Odd to see so many support this guy.
