Fetterman, who had a stroke in May, didn’t have the best performance the night of the debate. The Democrat is still recovering from his medical ailment and has trouble processing speech. He had difficulty expressing his policy positions throughout.
After the match-up, numerous reports surfaced about Democrats being concerned about their candidate’s health and ability to serve. The latest poll seems to show the public feels the same way.
