Democrat John Fetterman has won the race to be Pennsylvania’s next U.S. Senator after a closely watched election with national implications, NBC News projected early Wednesday morning.
Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor, defeated Republican challenger Mehmet Oz, a heart surgeon and longtime television personality. At times early in the cycle, it seemed Fetterman would run away with the election after handily defeating his primary opponents, but Oz tightened the race, attacking Fetterman as soft on crime and relentlessly questioning whether his Democratic counterpart was fit to serve after he suffered a stroke in May.
“I’m proud of what we ran on: protecting a woman’s right to choose, raising our minimum wage, fighting the union way of life, health care as a fundamental human right – it saved my life and it should all be there if you ever should need it – standing up to corporate greed, making things more here in America and right here in Pennsylvania, and standing up for our democracy," Fetterman said shortly after 1 a.m. in front of a crowd of supporters.
