El-Sayed comes under fire for 'ogre on a pike' leaked comment - POLITICO

An El-Sayed campaign spokesperson referred POLITICO back to an earlier statement that the candidate was “speaking metaphorically” about his intention to support a primary against Fetterman, a Pennsylvania senator. Fetterman and El-Sayed have clashed over support for Israel. 

The senator, who possesses a towering stature, has been mocked for his physical appearance by political rivals, and the “ogre” moniker partly stems from an attack by Kari Lake, a failed Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate and ally of President Donald Trump...

That offer did have the support of the USW union, which praised the Ohio-based Cleveland Cliffs as being "in the best position to ensure that US-based manufacturing remains strong in this country", and noted it didn't cut jobs during previous acquisitions in 2019 and 2020…

Mehmet Oz-John Fetterman debate's alarming abortion quote

As Dartmouth professor Randall Balmer, author of "Bad Faith: Race and the Rise of the Religious Right," outlined in Politico after Roe v. Wade was overturned, anti-abortion sentiment did not become a central issue for conservative evangelical leaders until after the 1978 midterms, five years after Roe and amidst efforts by the IRS to rescind the tax-exempt status of church-sponsored whites-only segregation academies. Before the late '70s, abortion had largely been considered a Catholic issue, and many evangelical leaders even actively supported the legalization of abortion. That changed when a group of men, considered the architects of the religious right, discovered how anti-abortion sentiment could be used to turn out white voters...

... The landscape has to be discouraging for those inclined to believe baseless Republican conspiracy theories about the election. For all the hysterical rhetoric, only a handful of legitimate allegations have been raised, and some involve Republicans casting illegal ballots for Trump on behalf of dead relatives...
