In the 2022 midterms, one of the most closely watched U.S. Senate races will be the one in Pennsylvania — where Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is up against Dr. Mehmet Oz, who narrowly defeated hedge fund exec David McCormick in a nail-biting GOP primary. Fox News has been loudly hyping Oz's campaign, but host Bill Hemmer pushed back when Oz suggested he was outperforming Fetterman in the race.
A Suffolk University/USA Today poll released on June 15 found Fetterman leading the Trump-backed Oz by 9%. Meanwhile, a Suffolk/USA poll on Pennsylvania's other big statewide race — the gubernatorial race — was closer, showing Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, leading far-right MAGA Republican and "Stop the Steal" extremist Doug Mastriano by 4%.
