Well, Fetterman is the lieutenant governor for the overall rather popular Tom Wolf and he gained a lot of coverage and popularity pushing back against the whole "PA was stolen" narrative.  He had a stroke after he declared himself a senate candidate, so I can see why they were staying the course with him.

The GOP could have nominated the type of candidate this state usually elects to the senate, but nope...gotta let Trump gum up the works with a celebrity with no experience and a tenuous link to the state to begin with.  It was the GOP's seat to lose and they lost it. Add in that the dems here can bring in Biden and Obama who both won PA in order to get some faux support for their guys and Trump lost PA and is on the outs with every living republican who came before him as well as his own VP and....well...you ride or die with Trump I guess.

I mean, is Fetterman great?  Nah, and you can see how his numbers trailed behind Shapiro's to prove that.  But Oz went on TV and very articulately laid out plans and policy that people in PA didn't want.  The GOP treated PA like Arkansas for some reason and it didn't go their way.
