Dr. Oz

McCormick's withdrawal guarantees the Trump-endorsed Oz will face-off with Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman in November.

Oz was born in the U.S but served in Turkey’s military and voted in its 2018 election. Fetterman revealed Friday that he had a previously undisclosed heart condition that led to the stroke last month that pulled him off the campaign trail. “We share the goal of a brighter future for Pennsylvania and America,” Oz said in a statement. We have a hard fight ahead of us — but Pennsylvania is worth fighting for,” Fetterman said in a statement. “It is so important for Pennsylvanians, so important that we beat John Fetterman.” “It’s now clear to me, with the recount largely complete, that we have a nominee.

With a statewide recount still underway, Mr. McCormick stepped aside to Dr. Mehmet Oz, who will be the Republican nominee in one of this year's most pivotal ...

Though “The Dr. Oz Show” has been criticized for a long history of offering viewers dubious medical advice, Mr. Trump was politically on-target about the electoral importance of women, especially in the suburbs. Dr. Oz was also criticized as a carpetbagger who had moved to Pennsylvania to run for office. Dr. Oz is a professor emeritus of surgery at Columbia University, but he called for the firing of Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert. This year’s races could tip the balance of power in Congress to Republicans, hobbling President Biden’s agenda for the second half of his term. At a rally Mr. Trump held in Pennsylvania 11 days before Election Day, boos greeted the mention of Dr. Oz’s name. Suspense around the race for weeks deflected attention from Mr. Fetterman, who suffered a stroke May 13, days before the election, leading to a hospital stay and the implantation of a pacemaker and defibrillator in his heart. In part that was because of Dr. Oz’s history of espousing liberal views, notably on abortion and transgender issues, which made him toxic to some conservatives. The November election holds high stakes for both parties: Pennsylvania is probably Democrats’ best chance to add a seat to their fragile 50-50 control of the Senate, in which Vice President Kamala Harris holds the tiebreaking vote. Dr. Oz, the longtime host of “The Dr. Oz Show” on daytime television, mostly ignored the advice. Ramesh R. Chandra, the cardiologist, said if Mr. Fetterman follows his instructions and takes his health seriously this time, “he should be able to campaign and serve in the U.S. Senate without a problem.” His cardiologist made public a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, which makes it harder for the heart’s muscles to pump. “But it’s now clear to me that with the recount largely complete, that we have a nominee.

The Final Result Of Dr. Oz's Bid For The Republican Nomination In The Race For A PA Senate Seat Was Expected To Take Weeks.

Out of 1.1 million Republican votes cast in the primary, Oz and McCormick remain separated by just 1477 votes, per Fox News. To Trump he said, “I’ll make you proud.” If a recount is happens, the final numbers be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of State on June 8, the Washington Post reported. Support of that false narrative has been a litmus test for many Trump supporters. “When Sean punches, he punches through walls.” He likely didn’t change any of those Pennsylvanians’ minds when he refused last week to say the 2020 election was rigged. Pennsylvania law mandates an automatic recount if a margin of victory is 0.5% or less. Both campaigns have apparently brought on campaign strategists that former President Donald Trump used to spearhead his unsuccessful 2020 recount efforts. Oz is a longtime resident of New Jersey, but according to the Associated Press, he registered to his in-law’s address in the Philadelphia suburbs to vote by absentee last year, which qualified him to run the in the state this year. Oz and former hedge fund executive Dave McCormick are the two front runners in the race, which continues to be too close to call, with McCormick clocking in at 31.2% of the vote and Oz at 31.1% as of 9 p.m. PT, according to the Washington Post. Under Pennsylvania law, any vote margin under 0.5% automatically triggers a recount. PREVIOUSLY on May 18 When America fell asleep watching the election returns last night, Dave McCormick led Dr. Mehmet Oz 31.2% to 31.1% in the race to become the Republican nominee in the election for the Pennsylvania Senate seat being vacated by Pat Toomey. What a difference a day makes. PREVIOUSLY on May 20: Celebrity TV Doctor Mehmet Oz will have to wait a few more weeks until he finds out whether he won or lost his bid to become the Republican nominee in the race for Pennsylvania’s empty Senate seat.

In his endorsement, Trump, 75, said he had "known Dr. Oz for many years, as have many others, even if only through his very successful television show. Oz entered the race after the leading Republican contender, Sean Parnell, dropped out. His Pennsylvania registration is tied to an address owned by his in-laws, the Associated Press reported. Pennsylvania has in place an automatic recount provision that goes into effect if a statewide result is within 0.5%. A recount had been ordered in the tight race between Oz and the hedge fund manager. David McCormick Concedes to Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania Republican Senate Primary

(WHTM) – Celebrity television doctor Mehmet Oz has won the Pennsylvania Senate Primary election after Dave McCormick conceded on June 3.

The celebrity heart surgeon, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, will face Democrat John Fetterman in the Pennsylvania race that could determine control of ...

… I’m a pro-life, pro-gun, America First conservative and damn proud of it.” I risked my life for America and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. He said he had ignored warning signs for years and a doctor’s advice to take blood thinners. Oz said he would renounce his Turkish citizenship if he won the November election, and he accused McCormick of making “bigoted” attacks. Oz and McCormick blanketed state airwaves with political ads for months, spending millions of their own money. Before the recount, Oz led McCormick by 972 votes out of 1.34 million votes counted in the May 17 primary.

The TV doctor's primary victory in Pennsylvania owes far more to the former president than a well-timed endorsement.

“He has lived with us through the screen and has always been popular, respected, and smart,” Trump said of Oz in his endorsement, offering a concise list of the qualities he admires most—besides loyalty to him—in a politician. If there’s an ideological test in today’s Republican Party, it is based on loyalty to Trump and his causes—principally his lies about the “rigged” and “stolen” 2020 election. Trump’s endorsement of Oz in April came as a shock to many of the former president’s conservative allies who had already embraced McCormick, a hedge funder married to the former Trump aide Dina Powell. Other top Trump aides, including Stephen Miller and Hope Hicks, backed McCormick as well. Oz is, in many ways, the most Trump-like figure to emerge since 2016: an ideologically malleable celebrity who parlayed his personal brand, his wealth, and an outsider’s message into a narrow victory over a crowded primary field. “It is now clear to me,” he said in a brief livestreamed statement, “that with the recount largely complete, that we have a nominee.” McCormick said he called Oz to congratulate him and pledged to help him defeat Fetterman in the fall. Activist Kathy Barnette, whose deeply personal opposition to abortion and commitment to Trump’s election lie captured many of the MAGA faithful, finished in third place with nearly 25 percent of the vote, a slight surprise after late polls showed her overtaking McCormick for second.

Dr. Mehmet Oz has won the Republican primary in Pennsylvania for U.S. Senate. David McCormick conceded on Friday night to Oz, who has been endorsed by ...

“And today, I called Mehmet Oz to congratulate him on his victory, and I told him what I always said to you, that I will do my part to try to unite Republicans and Pennsylvanians behind his candidacy, behind his nomination for the Senate.” Oz, who was endorsed by fellow former TV host Donald Trump, wrote on Twitter that he looks forward to continuing his campaign and ensuring that the Senate seat “does not fall into the hands of the radical left.” And he can expect even more publicity ahead of the midterm elections. Looks like The Dr. Oz Show might not be on TV for a while, because his political campaign — the reason that his show isn’t airing in some places anymore — isn’t over yet.

To maximize the opportunities for family members, Chris Asplundh is seeking to expand the business by adding new services. The Asplundh way of avoiding this kind of discord is as creative as it is effective. He then supervised Asplundh crews in Delaware and Tampa, Fla. After four years he was sent to oversee 200 workers in East Texas, before returning to Delaware as manager of a 300-employee division. Thus the company monitors every storm in the country from a weather center at the Willow Grove headquarters. The 34-year-old nephew of Chris Asplundh started working for the company as a tree-trimmer servicing Philadelphia Electric Co.'s lines. The three Asplundh brothers concentrated on business customers, clearing tree branches away from the overhead lines of the fast-growing electric and telephone companies. The first union for Asplundh workers was organized in 1951. As the third generation has moved up the ranks, the company has had its greatest growth, with revenues swelling from just $100 million in 1984 to this year's $900 million. Early in the Asplundh boys focused: Tree-trimming for residential customers was a good business but crowded. We are, for one, and we think a lot of our readers will be, too, for Asplundh Tree Expert Co. is an extraordinary company. Here’s our definitive, October 16, 1995 profile of the Asplundh family—“Let Asplundh Do It”—republished in full. With $4.7 billion in revenue, Asplundh is now the 98th biggest private company in America and the fifth largest in Pennsylvania, with more than 33,000 employees.

Trump had pushed Oz to prematurely declare victory (as he undoubtedly would have in his loafers); Oz ended up calling himself the “presumptive Republican” nominee instead. “I almost died,” Fetterman said Friday in a statement accompanying a long-awaited doctor’s letter regarding his health and ability to campaign. Fetterman’s doctor said that if he took his medication and maintained a healthy lifestyle, Fetterman should remain out of the woods and can safely return to the campaign trail.
