Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the Democratic nominee in the state’s high-profile U.S. Senate contest, said Tuesday that he won’t debate Republican rival Mehmet Oz in early September as he recovers from a stroke in May.

According to a statement obtained by The Hill, Fetterman, who won the Democratic nomination while in the hospital, cited a statement made earlier on Tuesday by Oz’s campaign, which Fetterman described as making fun of his stroke.
