GOP U.S. Senate candidate Mehmet Oz isn’t scheduled to hold any events in Bucks County before the election, but he will host his election night party in Newtown Township. He held a rally on Tuesday in Bensalem Township that drew a rare campaign appearance of GOP Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick.
Polls for the governor’s race show Shapiro and Davis significantly ahead of Mastrinao and DelRosso, whose campaign has been bogged down with controversies.

In the U.S. Senate race, Fetterman and Oz are in a tight race. After months of most polls showing Fetterman ahead, the race has become very close in polling as Oz has pushed a moderate tone and Fetterman had a debate performance many considered to be poor as he has recovered from a serious stroke that took place in spring.
