The highlights of the Fetterman and Oz Debate:

On the first question, which was what qualifies him as a senator, Fetterman took most of his time to explain the elephant in the room.



As Dr Oz's campaign is mainly based on health issues, he took a dig at him and spoke about his stroke.
Fetterman, who also has auditory processing issues, took time to read and answer the questions. He stated that he was ready to release his medical reports on mocks about his health.

When asked about abortion, Oz, who believes abortion is murder, responded diplomatically and didn't give a clear response on the 15-week ban. However, he spoke about the laws that he believes the local government, doctors, and women should decide on the matter. On many other issues, too, Oz failed to offer clear responses.
