Oprah Winfrey endorses Fetterman Over Oz In The Pennsylvania Senate Election – The person responsible for Mehmet Oz becoming a household name is endorsing the Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania’s key Senate race.
Oprah Winfrey declared on Thursday that she will be endorsing Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania Senate John Fetterman over Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz.
This is significant given that Oz first gained recognition as a health expert on “The Oprah Winfrey Program” before gaining his own talk show in 2009, which was produced by Winfrey’s company, Harpo, despite the fact that she is a registered Democrat. The last month of his show was January.
