Fetterman beats Oz to flip PA Senate seat for Dems

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman has defeated Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz to flip a highly competitive Senate seat and sustain Democratic hopes of maintaining control of the upper chamber. The results were part of a broader show of strength as Democrats repelled a series of Republican challengers in closely watched contests for Congress and governor's mansions.

The outcome of races for House and Senate will determine the future of President Joe Biden's agenda and serve as a referendum on his administration as the nation reels from record-high inflation and concerns over the direction of the country.
