Local officials and supporters in Bucks County cheered Fetterman as he made his way to the stage.
"I’m a Democrat that is running on my record on crime. That’s when I was a mayor of a community in West Pennsylvania that had a significant gun violence issue. In fact, that’s the only reason I ever ran in the first place, is to combat that and working with our police and working with our community. We stopped the killings for more than five and a half years."
Polls for the U.S. Senate campaign have tightened in recent weeks, with Dr. Oz’s numbers pulling close, and in some polls, edging out a lead over Fetterman.
The men spent the weekend criss-crossing the commonwealth, in hopes of swaying potential voters.
