2022 PA Senate race: on War & Peace


Mehmet Oz: For leaving Afghanistan but Biden surrendered to Taliban

Dr. Oz trained at the Philadelphia VA hospital and worked with veterans--he has seen first-hand the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform. While he supported leaving Afghanistan, he strongly opposed the way President Biden surrendered to the Taliban and the tragedy that ensued with our soldiers.

John Fetterman: Forever wars line the pockets of defense contractors

In order for America to be a force for good in the world, I believe that America must first be strong at home. This means no longer embarking on forever wars, investing in communities instead of lining the pockets of defense contractors, and partnering with our allies abroad to promote more stability around the world. I've been so proud to watch the world rally against Russia's attack on Ukraine--an attack on democracy itself.

In Washington, I will prioritize keeping America safe through strengthening our diplomatic efforts and investing in effective foreign aid programs while also ensuring that the best military in the world remains strong and prepared. I will also work to guarantee that we don't allow China to out-innovate us. There is no reason that the next generation of technology--from defense to clean energy to the microchips that power our cell phones--can't be manufactured right here in the Commonwealth. A competitive edge is the key to real and lasting national security.
