  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( John L. Dorman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
John Fetterman said in a recent interview that defunding the police "was always absurd." "It was always absurd to defund the police," Fetterman said. When asked about Philadelphia City Council President Darrell Clarke's desire to take a look at the constitutionality of some stop-and-frisk policies, Fetterman spoke of the importance of making sure any policy decisions would not be "abused." Most Democrats — including President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — have rejected the concept of defunding police departments. Fetterman is running against Republican Mehmet Oz in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country.

Former President Obama recently compared a big difference in how the two parties vet candidates. While on "Pod Save America," Obama said DeSantis can win votes via a conservative media ecosystem. Obama spoke of John Fetterman's relatability, while opining that DeSantis' demeanor was dissimilar. "Those qualities don't seem to always apply to successful Republican candidates," Obama told hosts Jon Favreau, Dan Pfeiffer, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor, all former Obama staffers. The dominant narratives there are so powerful that people will vote for DeSantis even if I'm not sure that they would really have a great time."

During the interview, Fetterman occasionally stuttered and had trouble finding words. Tune in to “Nightly News with Lester Holt” at 6:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. CT for more of our interview with Fetterman. “It changes everything,” Fetterman said, responding to a question about how his recovery has changed his day-to-day. “If you’re going to be our next senator, you have to give the answer,” said Fetterman, who opposes the Graham legislation. Oz has criticized Fetterman for agreeing to just one debate — and accused his rival of hiding from voters during the stroke recovery.
☆ U.S. Supreme Court backs Republican in Pennsylvania ballots case
  + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( Andrew Chung | Boies | Hausfeld Among Law Firms Reaping | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Under Pennsylvania law, voters are required to write the date on the outer envelope of a mail-in ballot. In his appeal, Ritter argued that mail-in ballot rules improve election administration and deter fraud. Alito wrote that the 3rd Circuit ruling "could well affect the outcome" of elections this year. Pennsylvania Republican legislators echoed Ritter's warning. Pennsylvania Republican legislators in a filing to the Supreme Court said the 3rd Circuit's ruling threatened an orderly election in November.
☆ Trump Misses the Real Pennsylvania Voting Problem
  + stars: | 2022-10-03 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
President Trump is again missing the point on election integrity. Mr. Trump was referring to a claim on the internet that Pennsylvania has 250,000 mail ballots that lack verification of the voter’s identity. Pennsylvania does have a voting issue, but it’s not the one Mr. Trump’s cites. Coincidentally also Tuesday, Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court deadlocked 3-3 on whether mail ballots are valid if voters neglected to date them by hand. But things could get ugly if Republican Mehmet Oz wins the Senate race by a whisker over Democrat John Fetterman .

☆ Factbox: Eight U.S. Senate races to watch in November's midterm elections
  + stars: | 2022-09-27 | by ( Moira Warburton | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +6 min
Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor and U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman speaks during a rally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S., September 24, 2022. The chamber is currently split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats, who are able to control the agenda thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote. The state is a former Republican stronghold where Democrats have made surprise gains in recent elections - Biden won the state by 0.3% in 2020. Masters' struggles have led Republicans to pull funding and analysts have shifted their predictions for the race in Kelly's favor. National groups have been pouring in money, and the topic of abortion is front and center since the state's Republican legislature banned all abortions after six weeks.
