Dr. Mehmet Oz has won the race for Donald Trumps coveted endorsement in Pennsylvanias Senate GOP primary.
In a key contest in the battle for the Senate majority this fall, the former president announced Saturday that he is backing Oz, praising the celebrity television doctor in a statement as Pro-Life, very strong on Crime, the Border, Election Fraud, our Great Military, and our Vets, Tax Cuts, and will always fight for and support our under-siege Second Amendment.
POLITICO previously reported that he had been leaning toward Oz, according to three people familiar with Trumps thinking, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Trump recently met with both Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick in Mar-a-Lago and talked with multiple people about the GOP primary.

(7,702 posts)I saw the PAC ad that is currently running in Pennsylvania. It is wrong and it is disgusting. And if Conor Lamb wants to stand up as a Democrat, then he needs to disavow that ad today, Warren said in an interview on Wednesday.
practices quackery. I will never understand Oprah ever backing people like oz, or fake dr phil.

I guess the quick buck selling snake oil was just too hard to pass up.

He cannot qualify for some top security clearances so he could not fully serve his supposed constituents.

(50,567 posts)All the questions to either Fetterman or Lamb will be about policy positions; all the questions to America's Quack will be about his fucked-up medical stances. "Dr. Oz, do you still support the use of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19 after the very long trail of bodies it's left behind it? What about green coffee extract and raspberry ketones?"
