The US Senate race in Pennsylvania is heating up as incumbent Democrat Bob Casey and Republican challenger Lou Barletta battle for the seat. But the most interesting race is between the two lesser-known candidates, Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Jeff Bartos.
Fetterman, the mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, is a progressive Democrat who has gained national attention for his work in revitalizing the struggling steel town. He has been endorsed by Bernie Sanders and has been praised for his progressive policies, including raising the minimum wage and providing free college tuition for Braddock residents.
Bartos, a real estate developer and former state senator, is running on a platform of fiscal responsibility and limited government. He has been endorsed by President Donald Trump and has been a vocal supporter of the president’s policies.
The race has been a bruising one, with both candidates attacking each other’s records and positions. Fetterman has accused Bartos of being a “Trump Republican” and has criticized his support for the president’s tax cuts. Bartos has attacked Fetterman’s record in Braddock, claiming that he has failed to bring jobs and economic growth to the town.
The race is expected to be close, with polls showing the two candidates neck and neck. Fetterman has been gaining ground in recent weeks, and the race could come down to the wire.
Whichever candidate wins, the race is sure to be a fascinating one. Fetterman’s progressive policies and Bartos’s support for the president’s policies have made for a unique and exciting race. It will be interesting to see how the race plays out in the coming weeks and who will emerge victorious.
