John Fetterman will make his full return to the trail on August 12 with a rally in Erie, his first full campaign event since suffering a stroke in May.
Whoever wins Erie County will win Pennsylvania,” Fetterman said. “

John Fetterman will make his full return to the trail on August 12 with a rally in Erie, his first full campaign event since suffering a stroke in May.

The return represents a significant step for Fetterman, who has only headlined a fundraiser and informal campaign gatherings while recovering from the stroke, which happened just days before the commonwealth’s Democratic primary.

Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor, handily won the primary anyway and has spent the ensuing months on his recovery as he looks toward the general election against Republican nominee Mehmet Oz.

“Before the 2020 election, I said that if I could know one single fact about the results, I could tell you who was going to win Pennsylvania. Whoever wins Erie County will win Pennsylvania,” Fetterman said. “Erie County is Pennsylvania’s most important bellwether county. I’ve visited Erie dozens and dozens of times in the past, and I am honored and proud to be returning to the campaign trail here.”

The battle to replace retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey is Democrats’ best hope to gain a Senate seat in what is likely to be a difficult midterm election.
Erie County voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012, then Trump in 2016, then Biden in 2020. In 2018, Wolf and Fetterman carried the county by more than 20 points.
