pulse check: Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Mehmet Oz is stepping up attacks on opponent John Fetterman’s largely virtual campaign as the Democratic nominee continues to recover from a stroke and use social media to taunt the Republican, Lesniewski reports.

Jones moved rather than challenge another Democrat near where he used to live in White Plains, but several progressive candidates battled for votes in a 13-person race.
