In the Pennsylvania Senate race, what motivates voters is complicated, writes Salena Zito.
ERIE, Pennsylvania — Every election cycle in America, plenty of people will decide, for one reason or another, not to show up to vote. Their reasons often vary. They may not like either candidate's personality or may not feel either candidate represents their views — or they just don’t think the government will change no matter who is in power.
It was a decision that gave the Democrats control of the U.S. Senate in addition to the White House and the House of Representatives. By now, Republican voters are painfully aware of that Democratic power monopoly, particularly after Sen. Joe Manchin struck a deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to create a new tax-hiking bill on climate change.
Ask Georgia Republican voters, and they will tell you they regret that decision and loathe the consequences.Currently, FiveThirtyEight’s forecast model has Democratic nominee John Fetterman as a 67% favorite to win the Senate race in Pennsylvania, though actual polls show Fetterman at 50% to Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz’s 46.8%.
Fetterman has also run ads cut before his stroke — again, very Trump-like — that discuss his decision to move to the tiny town of Braddock and run for mayor so he could improve the town. It's a constant claim that should motivate the national and local press to dig in to see if he did indeed improve Braddock.When Fetterman became mayor in 2006, the population of the once booming Mon Valley city, whose heyday was over 50 years ago, was 2,159.
Last week, the Philadelphia Inquirer revealed that Fetterman, whose York County family is wealthy, had lived off of his parents' money from 2006 to 2019, indicating that his blue-collar image is largely manufactured.
