Re: U.S. Senate - Pennsylvania
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-sup ... ndorsementDespite former President Donald Trump endorsing Dr. Mehmet Oz in the Pennsylvania Republican primary race for the U.S. Senate, Trump supporters couldn’t stop booing Oz during Trump’s Friday evening rally. The booing started almost immediately in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, after pro-Trump Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) took to the stage to explain why he backed Oz. “Everyone keeps asking me: ‘Why did you endorse Dr. Oz, and why did you do it so early?’” Then the congressman was booed in no uncertain terms by the Trump-loving crowd. And the booing wouldn’t stop. Elsewhere, as Huffington Post reporter Daniel Marans noted, an Oz campaign ad sparked booing from Trump supporters. Back in early April, The Daily Beast reported on the meltdown TrumpWorld had after the ex-president tossed his weight behind his old TV pal.

He’s an urban outsider with no ties to the state or the Alleghenies. What did they expect?

I thought the former guy hates loosers? He still did show up to a crowd thar would have had space in the ballroom of MAL?
Re: U.S. Senate - Pennsylvania
The local news said just hundreds showed up. It didn't say how many hundreds, but I could take the 600 number. I've been to craft shows at those fairgrounds that had more people than that.

Re: U.S. Senate - Pennsylvania
I voted yesterday, but clearly not for any of them.
I think John Fetterman can beat any of them.

Re: U.S. Senate - Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Kathy Barnette has called for banning Islam in America and said LGBTQ people 'lead with their sexual preference'

Conservative commentator Kathy Barnette is surging in Pennsylvania's GOP Senate primary.
But Barnette, who could snag the party's nomination, has a history of Islamophobic and homophobic remarks.
Until now, the primary had been a head-to-head between Trump-endorsed Dr. Oz and David McCormick.
Kathy Barnette, a largely-unknown Pennsylvania Senate candidate, has been surging in support among Republican voters in recent polls with just days to go until next Tuesday's primary election.
But a review of the conservative commentator's public statements, including on social media, reveals a candidate with a history of Islamophobic and homophobic positions that may imperil Republicans' general election chances in the race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey.
Over the last several years, Barnette has called for the banning of Islam in America, falsely claimed that former President Barack Obama is Muslim, voiced support for a business owner who posted a "No Gays Allowed" sign in his front window, and declared that "homosexuals LEAD with their sexual preference" and should "leave [the] immorality in the bedroom."

Lying Oz affiliated PAC lies, portrays the exact opposite of reality. News at 11.

If you're ballsy enough to photoshop Cher into an ad for your diet pill scam, knowing full well you've never met the woman, well, you're ballsy enough. What a whore. (Oz, not Cher.)

Re: U.S. Senate - Pennsylvania
I really think this year's primary has seen the nastiest group of ads I've ever seen. This is the last weekend before the primary on Tuesday, so it's really picked up, even on channels where I would think I could escape them.

This is the governor's race, not the Senate, but DFO backed Mastriano today.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Donald Trump on Saturday endorsed Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania’s Republican primary for governor, siding with a far-right candidate who was outside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection and has worked with determination to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Mastriano was already leading a crowded field of contenders, and the former president’s endorsement puts him on even stronger footing heading into Tuesday’s primary.
But there are growing fears from party leaders that Mastriano, a state senator and retired U.S. Army colonel, is too extreme to beat Democrat Josh Shapiro in November’s general election and could drag down other Republicans competing in the pivotal state. That includes a U.S. Senate contest in which Trump is trying to lift his endorsed candidate to victory in a highly competitive race. Mastriano has, for example, helped spread unsubstantiated claims from Trump and his allies that Democrats fraudulently stole the election for Joe Biden — something that Trump seized on in his endorsement statement.

Pennsylvania US Senate candidate Fetterman suffers stroke but says he's 'well on my way to a full recovery'
https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/15/politics ... index.html
https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/15/politics ... index.html
John Fetterman, Pennsylvania lieutenant governor and Democratic US Senate candidate, announced Sunday that he had a stroke and went to the hospital on Friday, but said in a statement, "I'm feeling much better, and the doctors tell me I didn't suffer any cognitive damage. I'm well on my way to a full recovery."
Pennsylvania's primary is on Tuesday, and Fetterman is the favorite to win the Democratic Senate contest, with polls showing him holding a significant lead over Rep. Conor Lamb and state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta.
You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy.
