Fetterman gives victory speech after beating Dr Oz in Pennsylvania Transcript

Oh, wow. Yeah.

Fetterman. Fetterman. Fetterman. Fetterman. Fetterman. Fetterman.

Yeah. I'm not really sure really what to say right now. My goodness.

We love you. (01:05) We love you.

Yeah.

We love you.

I am...

[inaudible 00:01:07]. (01:07) You did it. (01:07) We love you, John.

I'm so humbled. Thank you so much. Really, thank you. Thank you. What is it? It's like 1:30 in the morning and you're still here hanging in. We launched this campaign almost two years ago and we had our slogan. It's on every one of those signs right now. Every county, every vote. Every county, every vote.

Every county vote.

And that's exactly what happened. We jammed them up. We held the line. I never expected that we were going to turn these red counties blue, but we did what we needed to do, and we had that conversation across every one of those counties. And tonight, that's why I'll be the next US Senator from Pennsylvania.

Thank you.

Thanks to all of you. All of you, thank you. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

They made me grateful right now. And I just want to thank, of course, all these supporters, all across Pennsylvania, all in this room, all across the nation. Everyone that chipped in 10 bucks to help us get here. Thank you.

We believe in. Yes we do. (02:58) We fucking love you.

And also, I also really want to thank my family. Yeah. My mother, my father, Karl, Susan, my brother Greg. And where's Gisele? Where's Gisele? Everyone's there. Yeah. Gisele, who, six months ago, she saved my life.

Yeah.

Walking out of a Sheetz bathroom, she recognized what was happening. And my children, Karl, Grace, August. August. Yeah. So everyone, just thank you. And I also want to thank my team as well. The best team. So many names. Brendan, my campaign manager, Rebecca, Bobby, Joe, Jason, everybody, all my team. So many that made that part of it. (04:39) And also, thank all of the supporters also. I'm just so proud of the race that we ran. This campaign has always been about fighting for everyone who's ever been got knocked down, that ever got back up. This race is for the future of every community all across Pennsylvania.

We love you, John. [inaudible 00:05:13].

For every small town or person that ever felt left behind, for every job that has ever been lost, for every factory that was ever closed, for every person that works hard, but never got ahead, I'm proud of what we ran on. Protecting a woman's right to choose, raising our minimum wage, fighting the union way of life. Healthcare is a fundamental human right. It saved my life, and it should all be there for you when you ever should need it. (06:02) Standing up to corporate greed, making more things right here in America and right here in Pennsylvania, and standing up for our democracy. 20 years ago, I came to Braddock to start a GED program. And I've spent these last two decades fighting for the forgotten communities, because no community deserves to be left behind. No one deserves to be abandoned. And every place matters.

We love you, John. (06:43) [Inaudible 00:06:43] right there.

And I want to, again, I want to thank all of you amazing supporters, all of you and all watching and every... We bet on the people of Pennsylvania and you didn't let us down.

Yeah.

And my promise to all of you is I will never let you down. Thank you, Pennsylvania. Thank so much.

Fetterman. Fetterman. Fetterman. Fetterman. Fetterman. Fetterman.
