EXTON, Pa.—Republican Mehmet Oz and Democrat John Fetterman meet Tuesday night for their only debate in Pennsylvania’s neck-and-neck Senate race, a contest that gives Democrats their strongest chance to pick up a Republican-held seat in a year when either party could win control of the 50-50 Senate. The debate, to be held in a Harrisburg TV studio at 8 p.m. ET, will offer many voters their first look at Mr. Fetterman’s public-speaking abilities since he suffered a stroke in May that removed him from the campaign trail for three months.

John Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s Democratic lieutenant governor, will face Republican Mehmet Oz, a celebrity TV doctor, in the only debate of the race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey. Debate organizers and the campaigns have agreed to use closed-captioning to allow Fetterman to read questions and answers spoken and transcribed instantly. Another Oz campaign aide sent an email calling attention to the Fetterman team's memo. Oz, a heart surgeon, had used the debate calendar as a political weapon to call attention to Fetterman’s stroke and recovery. "I feel like I’m gonna get better and better — every day," Fetterman told NBC News in an interview this month.

☆ Oz, Fetterman clash early in Pennsylvania Senate debate

Pennsylvania Senate Democratic hopeful John Fetterman and his Republican rival Dr. Mehmet Oz came out of the gate swinging Tuesday night in their only debate just two weeks before Election Day. Fetterman, the state's lieutenant governor, in his opening statement said that if Oz "is on TV, he's lying," calling it "the Oz rule." The Democrat is recovering from a stroke he suffered in May and used closed-captioning during the debate. The hourlong debate in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, comes as Oz, the celebrity doctor endorsed by Trump, has closed his polling deficit with Fetterman in the final weeks of the race. The Oz campaign, aided by tens of millions of dollars from Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell's PAC, has bombarded Fetterman with ads accusing him of being soft on crime and too far left for Pennsylvania.

Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz will debate for the first and only time on Tuesday night. The Pennsylvania election could determine which party controls the US Senate. Fetterman and Oz are widely expected to discuss their positions on top voter concerns, including inflation and abortion. During the debate, Fetterman will rely on closed captioning to accommodate an auditory processing disorder he developed from the stroke. "On one hand, you could say that Oz is a weaker candidate than Fetterman, although Fetterman is hardly perfect himself," Kondik continued.

☆ John Fetterman releases updated medical report that says he's 'recovering well from his stroke' as Mehmet Oz attacks his health

John Fetterman's doctor said the candidate "is recovering well from his stroke," in an updated medical report. The Oz campaign had been urging Fetterman to release new medical records. Fetterman, who suffered from a stroke in May, has come under attack by his Republican opponent Mehmet Oz in recent weeks over his health. Last month, Oz released his own medical report after an annual checkup, in which his doctor stated he was in "excellent health." Fetterman's doctor said while the lieutenant governor "continues to exhibit symptoms of an auditory processing disorder" he "spoke intelligently without cognitive deficits" in his check-up.

Amtrak on Monday said it had canceled three long-distance train routes in advance of a looming railroad union strike that is threatening to hobble the nation's economy. The rail line said it was phasing in additional schedule "adjustments" as needed. Freight rail workers are threatening to strike for higher pay, more generous paid leave and a renegotiation of strict attendance policies and broader working conditions. A national rail strike "would be an economic disaster — freezing the flow of goods, emptying shelves, shuttering workplaces and raising prices for families and businesses alike," Suzanne Clark, the head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said Monday. The Association of American Railroads trade group has estimated that shutting down the railroads would cost the economy $2 billion a day.

Prima dată a uitat cum s-au întâlnit, treptat a uitat momentele cheie ale relației și în cele din urmă a uitat că s-au căsătorit. Când a fost întrebată ce iubește cel mai mult la soțul ei, ea a spus: „Felul în care mă iubește. Lisa a spus că a fost ușor să observe că ceva la soțul ei se schimba, dar a fost greu să se împace cu noua lor realitate. Pe 12 decembrie 2020, în timp ce Peter și Lisa se uitau la televizor, Peter a cerut-o de soție.

☆ What states are commonwealths? Here are the 4 in the US, plus other commonwealth territories

The Commonwealth statesHarrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania. Shutterstock/Jon BilousThere are four US states whose legal names include the term Commonwealth: Kentucky, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. However, this term does not affect laws or life in these states today, nor did it when they were first created either. According to the Massachusetts State Government, the term "Commonwealth" was incorporated into their constitution in 1780 and was used to express the ideal that "the people [of Massachusetts] ... form themselves into a free, sovereign, and independent body politic, or state." The states of Pennsylvania and Virginia included similar language in their state constitutions in 1776, as did Kentucky in 1850.

☆ Meltdown on Three Mile Island: What happened on the day of one of the nation's worst nuclear disasters

http://www.flickr.com/photos/subindie/955633308/sizes/l/in/photostream/Nearly half a century ago, one of the worst nuclear disasters in US history shook the nation to its core. The drama began at 4 a.m. on Three Mile Island, located in the middle of Susquehanna River, near Harrisburg, Pa.. Correction: May 19, 2023 — An earlier version of this story misstated Three Mile Island as the worst nuclear disaster in US history. However, it's come to our awareness that the Church Rock Nuclear Disaster was equally devastating. Therefore, we've corrected this post to describe Three Mile Island as one of the worst nuclear disasters in US history, but not the worst.
