Fetterman at debate on fitness to serve: "Transparency is about showing up"

• Fetterman did not commit to releasing his full medical records. "My doctor believes I'm fit to serve," Fetterman said.
• He added that he's been campaigning in public.

The big picture: Last week, Fetterman released a note from his doctor that said he was recovering well from the stroke in May, per the Associated Press.

• Oz's campaign has repeatedly pressed Fetterman to release his health records.
• Fetterman mentioned his stroke in his opening remarks, referring to his health as the "elephant" in the room.

State of play: Fetterman's campaign agreed to a debate with Oz in September and they called Tuesday's match-up "unprecedented."

• "There’s never been a closed-captioned political debate in a high-profile Senate race where one of the candidates is dealing with a lingering auditory processing challenge while recovering from a stroke," Fetterman's campaign said earlier that day.
• The debate featured closed captioning, a request by Fetterman's team.
