Fetterman knocks Oz with carpetbagger attacks, digs into NJ-Penn rivalry

It’s not often that a candidate running for office intentionally runs ads in a neighboring state — much less one focused entirely on his opponent.

But that’s what Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman did in the state’s U.S Senate race. He recently paid for a plane to fly a banner over New Jersey’s southern shore welcoming home TV doctor Mehmet Oz who is the GOP candidate after making a politically-driven move from his New Jersey home overlooking the Hudson river to his in-laws’ home in the Philadelphia suburbs.

Mr. Fetterman, the Democratic nominee, is stuck on the sidelines of the campaign trail while recovering from a stroke.
