John Fetterman drew large crowds throughout a swing by a number of the reddest components of rural Pennsylvania.
In response to a press release from the Fetterman marketing campaign as supplied to PoliticusUSA, “As Dr. Oz palled round with Mitch McConnell and his rich donors in Kentucky, Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman this weekend did again to again marketing campaign rallies in two rural counties in western Pennsylvania, drawing huge crowds at two stops in Venango County and Mercer County. On Saturday, Fetterman spoke to over 450 voters at Demstock in Venango, a county Trump gained by over 40% in 2020; on Sunday Fetterman held a rally with 427 supporters in Mercer, a county Trump gained by over 25% in 2020.”
The agricultural counties in Western Pennsylvania are the spine of Republican and Trump help within the state. To an out of doors eye, the gang numbers might sound small, however these counties are closely Republican, and for Fetterman to attract practically a thousand individuals to his two stops is spectacular.
For context, Fetterman’s opponent Mehmet Oz has been seemingly lying about his crowd size and drawing dozens of Republicans to his rural stops in the state.
Fetterman mentioned in Mercer County, “Do you assume Dr. Oz may recover from 400 individuals out in Mercer County on a Sunday afternoon? Dr. Oz didn’t even know that Mercer County existed a yr in the past. ‘ll at all times combat for Mercer County. From the beginning, our marketing campaign motto has been ‘Each County, Each Vote.’ Mercer County isn’t a spot many Democrats go to, however that doesn’t change our strategy. Displaying up and competing in locations like Mercer and Venango, and the entire different counties in between is the key to successful as a Democrat in Pennsylvania.”
John Fetterman is not going to win the 2 counties he visited on election day, however successful these counties isn’t the purpose. Similar to President Biden did in 2020, Lt. Governor Fetterman needs to drive up the turnout of rural pink Democrats to restrict the web quantity of votes that Oz can achieve from Republican strongholds.
Drawing that many citizens to marketing campaign occasions in a number of the most Republican components of the state are indicators of power that, thus far, Oz has been unable to match.
