and obviously jon fetterman so much talk is been about his health which is a real problem for him.cky in that by talking about but he does not have to talk about his record. because of his record when it comes especially to issues of crime which is again the most powerful issue just about any election but especially in these times, if he does not have to defend and answer questions about his record on things like a bail reform and things like that, then obviously that is where he wants to be. before then to some voters he has so much out of the mold does not wear jacket and tie, as it may or he has tattoos those tattoos have the dates of murder victims when he was married. takes that very personally. he is really unusual. have we seen someone like him in recent times? he is cut out of a different type of mold. yes he definitely is. but he also when you start talking about when he can down and drill down into the issues about criminal justice reform and wanting to end the cash bail and things like that voters get very squeamish in this kind of environment but especially the area aro

the attention of the nation right now because it is close as a tick in that senate race between jon fetterman and mehmet oz. bryan llenas in harrisburg, pennsylvania, with what is at stake tonight. bryan. reporter: neil, good afternoon. this is the one and only debate in the senate race. dr. mehmet oz and john fetterman will be in a rao mean that tonight. it will last one hour. they will be in a local tv studio here in harrisburg. there will not be live audience inside. there will be live closed-captioning because fetterman requested it as he continues to recover from the stroke back in may. fetterman would only agree to do one debate which is why we're here. his campaign is now downplaying expectations heyed of tonight's battle writing in a memo to the press and others dr. oz is likely to win the debate. we'll admit this isn't john's format, acknowledging oz's decades long experience as a tv host means, oz clearly comes into tuesday night with a huge built-in advantage. >> i think the big question for fetterman is his health and, how he is going to perform and whether there is any limitation

fetterman and oz. tell us. >> yeah, jon, i spoke to a lot of people on capitol hill, pennsylvania democratic insiders ast fetterman's performance last night. are concerned that it only adds to many voters' views that maybe he might not be fit to serve. i think a lot of democrats did give him credit for showing up, but he did stumble a lot. he had trouble with a lot of his answers. you know, a lot of people pointed out that neither fetterman nor dr. oz have ever really been skilled debaters or seen as that in the fast. even before fetterman experienced his stroke. and i think last night, though, however, it really detracted from some of the answers. that's what i'm hearing from a lot of lawmakers. i think how much will this have an impact on the race? with a statistical tie in polling and a few weeks to go to election day, a lot of people saying don't give too much credence to the debates. i do think there was attention on this, yes, because of this race being close but also because of fetterman's health. people are concerned this may raise more questions than answered them. >> the debate comes late in t
