Very weird considering the reports that his wife and kids recently fled the country. This John Cardillo fellow has made a few more tweets since then claiming law enforcement insiders have given him conflicting information regarding Fetterman's status but none of it looks good for Shapiro or Fetterman. As a Pennsylvanian I hope this is true and we get a special election with someone other than Oz as our candidate.

Update: in PA, there would be no special election until November of 2024. Shapiro can put in whoever he wants until then. If it happens, wonder who he picks?
