I live in California (and excuse me having to get this info from the Hill 
), and have to watch my pennies but I sent Fetterman a bit of change. I do not want to lose my social security/medicare nor have my beautiful nieces and great nieces have to go into a room with her doctor, her husband/boyfriend/so and have a damn local politician to try to stop her from having an abortion.
Oz is a damn rotten ass snake oil salesman, and he needs his ass kicked to the curb by Philadelphian's.
GO FETTERMAN!!!!!!!!!!! 
In Democratic Pennsylvania Senate nominee John Fetterman raised more than $1 million following Tuesday night’s debate with Republican Mehmet Oz, according to Fetterman’s campaign.
The campaign said it raised the amount during the three hours between the debate’s conclusion at 9 p.m. and midnight.
The two candidates sparred over a number of top issues, like the economy and abortion, in the state’s first and only Senate debate.
The closely watched event, which was held two weeks before the election, also drew attention to Fetterman’s ongoing recovery from a stroke earlier this year, a matter that the Oz campaign has mocked at times. Fetterman’s challenges communicating were on full display during the debate, with the Democrat calling it the “elephant in the room.”
“It’s clear that the people of Pennsylvania have John’s back in this race. They stepped up tonight with a gigantic show of support for John and his debate performance. We’re honored and grateful for the support heading into the last two weeks of the race,” Fetterman’s campaign manager, Brendan McPhillips, said in a statement regarding the post-debate fundraising.
The Hill has reached out to Oz’s campaign for its latest fundraising numbers.

... they showed the captioning during brief moments in the debate. There were errors... strange that "Nextstar is refuting the allegations."
By the time I sit down to watch a little TV at night, I've already taken the hearing aids out, so I CC. Sometimes its more entertaining than the actual show!
The best systems allow human interaction to correct the errors. But that only happens when trained professional transcription experts are on duty, catching and correcting those errors on the spot in real time. (In other words, while they are happening.)
Remember when the networks used to BLEEP whenever someone uttered a curse-word, like on a late-night talk show? That happened because someone was listening, caught the curse word and reacted in 7 seconds to bleep it out. I don't think they do that any more, but there are certainly people trained to make instant corrections to spoken dialog. However it costs money to pay these people for their services, so .... 
When humans correct the transcription errors, there's still a 7-second delay. However what goes out on screen is correct and standard English. I feel bad for Fetterman who has only recently entered our world with the rest of us who are constant closed caption consumers.
