28. He still risked his own life to protect his community.

That counts for a lot.

No one thinks he was acting out of racial animus, quite the opposite.

The nation is in a period of disgust with public officials who stood by while innocents were slaughtered. Fetterman did the opposite.

I believe that man he stopped is supporting Fetterman, is that correct?

We can not afford to have the GOP pick up this seat and Fetterman has a path to turn this issue into a huge positive IMO.

BTW I have been a long time lurker and I can tell you that you and I are in alignment on virtually every issue. I really don't want to lose this race. And I see how this incident can be honestly framed to Fetterman's electoral advantage.
