one of the big defining features from him, how you limit his ability in the state it how he relates to pennsylvania. went to medical school at the university of pennsylvania but spent his life elsewhere largely and recently in new jersey. that is a big hurdle for him to get over. but he has been successful in many ways at keeping this race tight and even tightening it more past polls have shown earlier this month. by attacking federman and his brand. largely in the philadelphia market focused on making a case that john fetterman's weak on crime. and making fetterman to be less attractive to someone older, more moderate voters where his brand might not naturally -- where his brand might not be a natural fit. that is closed the race over september into october. last week the debate performance about a week ago certainly has raised more questions about the lieutenant government's ability to compete or to hold an office. as he recovers from a stroke that he had in may. this race is by almost every measure we see really competitive and different than the governor's race. host: we hear from chris in pennsylvania on that line for pennsylvanians.

university of maryland. he is a senior advisor and adjunct associate professor at the university of pennsylvania's center for the preservation of civil rights sites and an adjunct at columbia university's graduate program in historic preservation. and if that weren't enough, i've also had the pleasure of traveling the country with brant for the last five years where he's developed a board building preservation leadership training that empowers african-american historic sites and museum board of directors. he is one of the most humble and down to earth people you will ever meet who has first name basis with people like phylicia rashod and everybody i can think of in the preservation space. it was like just just a number, great contacts, but also down to earth, enough to do cha cha slide at triple-a conference with the and always just a delight to have. so please welcome brant legs. well, good afternoon to you guys. hear me? we all hear me. oh, now you do. let's just test this. is anyone a graduate? the real h you out here? you know. okay, so the mike is working. yeah. he. it's so great to be here. i am in mia

earlier we spoke to bryan ross mold was a scholar in residence at the university of pennsylvania. he explains the main issues for voters in the state. the biggest issues here, especially for democratic voters, is abortion. abortion rights are crucial in part because in this state during the governor's race is going to determine whether abortion is legal convicted. and i think that you also have inflation and economic issues and economic pressures as well as cry betterment has gone absolutely pummeled on the airwaves by republican groups on crime, the law, those on as says, i've distorted his record, but they clearly see an opening i and i, i think that those are kind of the big 3 issues and as well as partisan control, the senate, you know, the senate, the nationally, the control, the senate may come down to this race. you know, does federal, when does oswell ah, if betterment wins, it's really hard for republicans capture the senate. they're gonna have to beat 2 democratic and comments. and they probably only have 3 races in with that are competitive the right to do that. it may
