Fetterman responded to Oz's remarks by saying he would put his values up against the Republican's any day of the week, despite withdrawing from the debate. The Democrat claimed he is still trying to recover after suffering a stroke in May.

Dr. Oz has agreed to participate in five debates while the Fetterman camp has yet to accept any of the invitations.
