Why Dr. Oz Is Turning Out To Be One Huge Regret For Donald Trump – By Shana Aborn (The List) / Aug 19, 2022
Even though he no longer occupies the White House, Donald Trump has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. His endorsements for key state and federal positions have helped candidates in the primaries; most recently, he helped Harriet Hageman win the Wyoming Congressional seat (via Politico). (Surprising no one, Trump mocked Liz Cheney over her loss.) The MAGA faithful seem willing to put their votes where the former president’s mouth is — with one surprising exception.
Earlier this year, Trump threw his support behind Dr. Mehmet Oz, the popular TV doctor who gave up his talk show in order to run for a seat in the Pennsylvania Senate. Dr. Oz posted Trump’s endorsement on his website: “Dr. Oz is 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,” he wrote in part. “Perhaps most importantly, I believe that Mehmet Oz will be the one most able to win the General Election against a Radical Left Democrat looking to do unthinkable harm to our Country.”
Or, maybe not. A new report in Rolling Stone quotes inside sources who say the former president is regretting the endorsement, given that Oz is losing in the polls to his opponent. “The [former] president has used words like ‘lousy,’ and ‘awful,’ and ‘doesn’t make sense’ to describe how Dr. Oz has been campaigning against John Fetterman over the summer,” said a Trump adviser.
