Washington — Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman said Thursday that he's "proud" to appear alongside President Biden and former President Barack Obama in the closing days of his campaign for the Senate and praised the two as "100% sedition-free."
In an interview with CBS News' chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa, Fetterman sought to contrast the appearance by Mr. Biden and Obama set for Saturday with that of his Republican opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, who will appear with former President Donald Trump and GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano on the same day.
"I'm proud to be on the stage of two presidents that both won Pennsylvania. They are 100% sedition-free and they reject extremism," Fetterman told Costa. "And I'm never going to be on stage with somebody like Doug Mastriano that is all about extremism and and undermining democracy and being an extremist on abortion."
