One day before one of the highest-profile primaries of the midterms, the Pennsylvania GOP Senate nominee could easily be any one of three frontrunners, including Trump-endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz
PHILADELPHIA — The latest polling in Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate race shows Dr. Mehmet Oz, the celebrity television doctor who received Donald Trump’s backing, could win.
In Ohio’s contentious Republican Senate primary earlier this month, the candidates quickly conceded on election night and pledged to support Trump’s pick J.D. Vance, who won by 7 points. The Pennsylvania contest appears unlikely to end with similar GOP unity. Barnette said in a “People love him, otherwise he wouldn’t have been on air for 18 years,” Trump said, referring to the yearslong run of Oz’s daytime television show. “I’ve just spent a lot of time with him. I did endorse him, and the reason is he’s tough, he’s smart and he really loves our country and he wants to do a great job for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.”
Trump was also scheduled to participate in a live tele-town hall with Oz on Monday evening — which the Oz campaign did fund — and the two have spoken several times in the last week. Less than $200,000 of that was from Barnette’s campaign. But the Club for Growth, which announced last week its super PAC was endorsing Barnette, just spent over $2 million on a last-minute advertisement on her behalf.
