Episode notes

John Fetterman is running against Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania's Senate race. The two have not debated yet, but they do now have a debate on the calendar for October 25th. "I don't know why anyone would want to leave Jersey because it's like the best place ever," he says of his former home state. 'He really does have this populist appeal and that he's speaking from the heart'

John Fetterman, the 6-foot-8, hoodie and cargo shorts-wearing Democratic candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania, may be the model for how progressives can win elections. He just needs to beat Dr. Oz.

This episode was reported and produced by Miles Bryan, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Cristian Ayala and Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
