Some Republicans have been quick to draw comparisons between John Fetterman and Joe Biden. Mehmet Oz is pushing a comparison to Bernie Sanders. Fetterman's campaign is distancing him from both. It's unclear how effective any of this will be with voters.
As the general election campaign enters its second full month, Oz, the Republican nominee, along with members of his party, have increasingly tried to connect Lt. Gov. John Fetterman to Vermont Sen. Sanders in fund-raising emails, press releases, and digital ads.
Fetterman and Sanders have swapped endorsements and shared rally stages, as well as some policy views. They’ve run similarly styled grassroots progressive campaigns. That all sets up an easy comparison for Oz to make. Fetterman faced somewhat similar criticism in the primary and coasted to the nomination.
“Whether it’s immigration, whether it’s marijuana legalization, whether it’s universal pre-K or affordability for college education, we stand together as the most progressive candidates in our respective races, and it’s my pleasure and privilege to stand with Bernie and to have Bernie’s back.”Oz blamed his fund-raising gap on the abortion decision. He was trailing well before that.
There’s an assumption, GOP strategist Vince Galko said, that the GOP base, angry about inflation and with Biden, will turn out. But the Sanders comparisons target soft Democrats and independents. In an Oz fund-raising email listing the five things to know about Fetterman, his support for Sanders’ presidential bid was No. 1.
“[Sen. Sanders] is regularly one of the most popular politicians in the country,” Neidhardt said. “It’s also pretty well-known that John Fetterman didn’t back Bernie in 2020. Everyone in the Bernie camp remembers that, there was frustration there. That’s just a fact.”
