Speaking on a podcast Thursday, Gisele Barreto Fetterman, the wife of Pennsylvania Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, said, Historically, swimming in America is very racist. One of the points of contention Tuesday night during a debate between her husband and Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz was how many mansions each man has and how they had afforded them. Gisele Fettermans comments were an attempt to contextualize why she and her husband own a mansion that Oz alleged Fetterman had received for a dollar. And while we did not want the mansion, that mansion came with a pool I wanted. And the dream was to make this a public pool and turn it into the peoples pool and ensure that young people across Pennsylvania could learn how to swim and water safety and kind of work to right some of the wrongs, she told Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi on the iGen Politics podcast.

After the debate, John Fetterman and his campaign have been roundly criticized. Pennsylvanias Senate race has narrowed in recent weeks as Oz emerges as a viable candidate to compete with Fetterman, the early favorite. The election is seen as a bellwether for broader cultural currents in America, given Pennsylvanias status as a perennial battleground state. Following her husbands stroke in May and its lingering impact, some liberal commentators have begun floating the idea of Giseles serving as the de facto candidate in her husbands campaign. However, these comments have been walked back in an attempt to downplay the candidates health problems.
