Democrat John Fetterman had complaints about the closed-captioning system used at his debate with Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Going into their debate Oz and Fetterman agreed to use a closed-captioning system that would feature a live transcription of the debate moderators' and Oz's words would appear on two large TV screens offstage.
This arrangement was agreed upon to help Fetterman who is dealing with auditory processing issues related to the stroke he suffered in May.
Fetterman's camp said they were thrilled with his performance, but still took a shot at the closed-captioning system.
"We are thrilled with John’s performance. He did remarkably well tonight — especially when you consider that he’s still recovering from a stroke and was working off of delayed captions filled with errors," said Joe Calvello, communications director for Fetterman's campaign.
Dr. Oz acknowledged their concern and came up with the perfect solution.
"We're sorry to hear that the Fetterman campaign was unhappy with how the closed captioning system that they requested was working on Tuesday," a statement from Oz's campaign said.
"We're happy to do a second debate any time," the statement added, "and let the Fetterman campaign source a closed captioner that they believe is of better quality."
There is zero chance a second debate happens, but their complaints are reduced to zero if they have no interest in a do-over.
