Here's what really happened with Oz in PA. Sean Parnell, a White veteran and excellent MAGA candidate who would have easily kicked Fetterman's ass in the general election, was forced out the Senate primary at the last minute by a corrupt judge who took away his children. There was a lot of glowing IC fuckery in that situation. PA MAGA Republicans needed a last minute replacement, and Oz was there with the independent wealth and experience needed to deal with the media vipers, so he got swapped in. This is why I don't tolerate any variation of the "the voters voted for this" excuses because even if you ignore the blatant election rigging, the bad actors sabotage good candidates from even making it on to the ballot. I don't blame Oz or Trump in that tough situation. Ultimately, I suspect the Trump team eventually got their revenge by gaining some kind of leverage over Fetterman.
The leverage could be as simple as the winds are shifting in his state and he knows he's toast in a few years if he acts like a standard radical dem. Can't let people be swayed by the act.
