The nonpartisan Cook Political Report is changing its rating of Pennsylvania’s Senate race from a “toss up” to “lean Democrat” fewer than three months before the November midterms.

The development comes against the backdrop of the social media campaign that Democratic candidate John Fetterman has waged against opponent Mehmet Oz (R) that has sought to portray the celebrity as a carpetbagger from New Jersey who is out of touch with voters.

1. Still pretty understated I would suggest.

4. Yeah, I think Fetterman is way ahead.

3. Fetterman is up big in the polls.

But don’t make a mistake about it. Oz might be at 33% but John is only at 51%. Those right wingers will be coming home, this is going to be very tight. Fetterman’s health after that stroke is going to be an issue. He’s not well, he hasn’t recovered. That’s a big deal to people.

9. How is he not well?

He sounded and looked great this week

[nevergiveup]

5. I have found that Cook Political Report is very cautious and conservative

in their reporting. If they say Fetterman is "lean Democrat" he probably has a fairly comfortable lead.

8. Lean is something like being

ahead by 10 points.

6. And the good news just keeps pouring in for Dems and the country.

Now, all we've got to do is GOTV massively and we can't lose.

7. I live in an extremely Maga county

I've seen Mastrointonio signs but not one Oz sign
