“By January, I’m going to be feeling better and better. But Dr. Oz will still be a fraud.” John Fetterman again acknowledged that he’s still struggling with the aftermath of a May stroke but vowed to keep fighting.
President Biden, right, and former President Barack Obama, center left, take part in a campaign rally for Shapiro, center right, and John Fetterman on Saturday in Philadelphia.
“Never mind that none of these things have been proven to work,” Obama said. “Some things might be harmful. You just got to believe — then hand over your credit card information. It’s easy to joke about Dr. Oz and all the quack remedies he’s pushed on people, but it matters. It says something about his character. If somebody is willing to peddle snake oil to make a buck, then he’s probably willing to sell snake oil to get elected.
A few miles away from the Democrats’ Sunday night rally, Oz had held a business roundtable earlier in the day with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., two relatively moderate Republicans. Former President Donald Trump looks on as Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Mehmet Oz speaks at a rally in Latrobe, Pa., on Saturday.
Democrats have also argued that Oz is to the right of retiring Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., on guns. The gun safety group Everytown, which had backed Toomey in the past, has been running ads criticizing both Oz and Mastriano on the issue. The Oz campaign hopes that it can win over enough Shapiro voters to close the gap with Fetterman. But Shelley Howland, a Bucks county resident in eastern Pennsylvania, told Yahoo News that she doesn’t think there will be enough voters engaged in “ticket splitting” — in this case, voters who support both Oz and Shapiro — for the Republican to win.
