Standing in front of a blown-up photo of the LOVE Park statue in a Northwest Philadelphia gym, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman introduced himself to a cheering crowd as “Jawn” Fetterman.

It was the first public event of his campaign in the deeply Democratic city that’s vital to his party’s hopes in November’s election, but he promised not to pander to Philly voters, saying that’s something they’d hear from Republican Senate nominee Mehmet Oz.

“I’m not going to say that Wawa is so much better than Sheetz,” said Mr. Fetterman, who hails from Braddock.

After coming onstage to AC/DC’s “Back in Black,” Mr. Fetterman spoke to a crowd of about 600 for about 12 minutes, at times with halting speech and on occasion stumbling over at least one of his lines as he recovers from a May stroke.

For example, following up his Wawa line, the big Steelers fan said he’d never tell Philadelphians that “the Steelers are so much better than the Eagles.” (The crowd rallied to help him, unleashing a quick E-A-G-L-E-S chant).

Well ... the Steelers ARE better than the Eagles ... so he's right about that.
