Democratic candidate for Senate John Fetterman defended his heavily criticized performance in a TV debate against Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz on Tuesday.
The Democratic nominee noted that although the experience wasn't"easy," he was proud that his team was present.
Moderators allowed the use of closed captioning so Fetterman could read and respond to questions more easily due to an auditory processing disorder caused by a stroke he suffered in mid-May. However, Fetterman still struggled through some of his answers and stumbled over certain phrases — prompting criticism from Republicans and worrying some Democrats about how it would affect his election chances.
