Mehmet Oz, or Dr. Oz, has been doing well in the polls. Although it’s a tight race for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania , many didn’t feel Oz had a chance.
Oz was previously friends with Oprah Winfrey. He asked her not to endorse him so she would not get hurt.
Not only did she not endorse him however, she just proverbially backstabbed him instead, saying that she would vote for radical leftist John Fetterman if she could.
According to Today.com, Oprah hosted a “A Virtual Voting Conversation”. At the end of the event she spilled the beans.
During the tail end of her conversation, Winfrey announced her support of Democrat John Fetterman, who is running for Senate against Republican Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania.
In our view:
It seems desperate Democrats see that Fetterman’s debate performance coupled with a predicted “red wave” make Fetterman a vulnerable candidate. Powerful Democrats (in our speculation) could have potentially pressured Oprah into endorsing when many thought she was not going to.
Adding to our speculation is the fact that this “endorsement” comes just five days before the election with many people having early voted already. We will see if Oz responds or anyone else for that matter to this surprising development.
Dr. Oz remained classy and said he and Oprah were still friends, but had different political points of view.
Good on him.
