| Sentence | Sentiment | Bias |
|---|---|---|
| "It is tempting to view abortion as a single-issue obsession, but it still strikes at individual rights in much the same way that many pillars of the Republican platform do." | Negative | -4% Liberal |
| "Where the candidates differ bluntly is that Fetterman blames oil companies for inflation, while Oz sees them only as job creators in a prosperity economy that asks voters to ignore and consent to the egregious wealth gaps in America." | Negative | -4% Liberal |
| "On issues such as taxes and the economy, Fetterman's best quality in this debate was embodying the struggles of life that make economic hardship so crushing." | Negative | -10% Liberal |
| "For as much as crime and public safety were expected to take center stage in last night's debate, it was issues such as abortion, inflation, immigration and energy policy that dominated more of its highlights and lowlights." | Negative | -18% Liberal |
| "Throughout the race, Oz has tried to walk a middle ground on abortion, compared to a candidate like Doug Mastriano, whose extreme views on reproductive rights have contributed to Josh Shapiro's stronger lead in Pesylvania's gubernatorial race." | Negative | -26% Liberal |
| "The debate's obvious flaws as a result of Fetterman's health problems gave Oz the space to be more coherent about issues such as taxes, or to point out that trade workers who didn't go to college may be squeezed by student debt forgiveness." | Negative | -32% Liberal |
| "Trump's endorsement of Oz, and the Republican party's backing of Oz in Pesylvania, is really about Oz possessing many of the public speaking skills that helped Trump win Pesylvania in 2016." | Positive | 20% Conservative |
| "Trump's endorsement of Oz, and the Republican party's backing of Oz in Pesylvania, is really about Oz possessing many of the public speaking skills that helped Trump win Pesylvania in 2016." | Positive | 20% Conservative |
| "Eventually, Oz said he would support Trump ruing for president again in 2024, but Oz also essentially said he'd support any Republican who secures the nomination." | Positive | 2% Conservative |
| "The tacit message Oz communicated -- beyond his railing against extremism, tossing out loose statistics and decrying fentanyl -- is that he intends to vote and conduct himself in much the way Pat Toomey has during his two terms in office." | Negative | -2% Liberal |
| "It is telling that Oz stalled a bit when asked about his support for former President Donald Trump, who endorsed him in the Republican primary." | Negative | -10% Liberal |
