Margin of victory: +4.9%
In the 2022 Senate race for PA Senate seat, John Fetterman (D) won with 51.3% of the vote, defeating Mehmet Oz (R) who received 46.3%. 3 additional candidates split the remaining vote. The 4.9-point margin made this one of the more competitive races of the cycle.
This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — Robert P Casey Jr (D) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. As a Democrat, John Fetterman won despite the historical midterm penalty against the president's party (Democrat Biden was in office). This seat will likely stay on party watch lists as potentially competitive in future cycles.
