John Fetterman has defeated the Republican candidate Mehmet Oz, flipping a Senate seat in the highly competitive swing state of Pennsylvania. ‘We bet on the people of Pennsylvania and they never let us down,’ Fetterman said in his acceptance speech after a hard-fought campaign during which concerns about Fetterman’s health were raised by Oz’s team.
Fetterman, who had a stroke this year, said: ‘Healthcare is a fundamental human right. It saved my life and it should all be there for you.’
