The vote pitted a liberal Democrat against a Republican endorsed by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The Pennsylvania race for U.S. Senate has garnered an advertising expenditure of more than $3 million from the Republican Jewish Coalition, including ads that take aim at a 2013 incident in which John Fetterman detained a black person with a shotgun.
“Oz is a carpetbagger from New Jersey who wants to buy a Senate seat, and Fetterman is a bum from Western Pennsylvania whose parents had him on a stipend till he was 49,” said Joe Albert of Scranton.
The total amount RJC has spent on the race for all platforms exceeds $3 million.
If elected in November, Oz would become the first Muslim in the Senate.
In a statement to JNS, John Fetterman’s campaign affirmed that he “is and always has been a pro-Israel Democrat.”
The final tally will come after election workers finish counting absentee ballots, which could determine the winner but is more likely to spur a recount, as the difference in votes is within the state’s margin of .5%.
On the Democrats’ side, three candidates have similar messages wrapped in different packages.
