Pennsylvania’s Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman managed to win over voters in the commonwealth despite delivering one of the worst debate performances in US history.<\/p>\n

Fetterman has served under Gov. Tom Wolf (D) for the past four years. The former mayor of Braddock in the Pittsburgh suburbs was seen as the perennial front-runner for Pennsylvania’s vacant US Senate seat. He led throughout much of the election against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz. But after Fetterman finally agreed to debate Oz after stalling a face-to-face meeting with his opponent throughout the campaign, all bets were seemingly off.<\/p>\n

While Fetterman’s campaign said he had little lasting complications from his May stroke, the debate seemed to prove otherwise. The lieutenant governor struggled greatly during the October debate <\/a>\u00a0to formulate his positions and rebuff Oz’s attacks with coherent sentences.<\/p>\n

\n

Fetterman’s poor performance led the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette <\/i>editorial board into rescinding its endorsement of the lieutenant governor and backing Oz. PredictIt bettors also changed their thinking. After the debate, bettors put more stock behind Oz in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Around Election Day, Oz’s shares of succeeding Pennsylvania’s Republican Sen. Pat Toomey were trading at 63 cents. Fetterman was the underdog at 40 cents.<\/p>\n

Early Vote Went Blue<\/b><\/h2>\n

The tide was with Oz heading into Tuesday’s election. But early voting and mail-in voting, which had been underway for weeks before Fetterman took the stage with Oz on October 25 — just two weeks before Election Day — tipped the scale in Fetterman’s favor.<\/p>\n

\n

Political experts in Pennsylvania said the early vote went largely for Fetterman. Fetterman is thought to have also benefited from a strong turnout of Democratic voters supporting gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro — the state’s current attorney general — against Republican candidate Doug Mastriano.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mastriano was handpicked by former President Donald Trump<\/a>. Mastriano, a 2020 election denier who attended the January 6 rally in Washington, DC, that resulted in the attack on the US Capitol, was largely seen as a long shot. Democrats turned out to make sure Mastriano didn’t succeed Wolf, and some of that vote led to higher Fetterman support simply from party-line voters.<\/p>\n

“I’m so humbled,”<\/strong> Fetterman said while wearing his signature hoodie. “This campaign has always been about fighting for everyone who’s ever been knocked down that ever got back up.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oz has yet to concede, saying only late Tuesday night, “When all the ballots are counted, we believe we will win this race.”<\/p>\n

Fetterman Faithful Win<\/b><\/h2>\n

Fetterman bettors who risked money on him becoming Pennsylvania’s next US senator are being financially rewarded this morning after PredictIt closed out the market.<\/p>\n

Each Fetterman share has been redeemed at $1, meaning bettors who grabbed shares at 40 cents on Tuesday are netting 60 cents per stock option. Each Dr. Oz share is now worthless.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PredictIt allows bettors to purchase up to $850 in stock in each market. At 40 cents, the maximum allotment of shares one could have purchased on Election Day was roughly 2,125 shares. That would equate to a net win of $1,275 before PredictIt fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
