Mehmet Oz, the television celebrity and Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, had dropped former President Trump from his campaign content as the hotly contested Senate election enters the final stretch of the midterm cycle. Trump was a central figure of Oz's initial campaign, frequently appearing in his ads before any endorsement by Trump.
Oz has decided to depart from utilizing the endorsement and is cutting all mention of Trump from his campaign
- His campaign website no longer features a pop-up fundraiser plea exploiting his Trump endorsement
- On his profile on Trump’s Truth Social, he still mentions the endorsement, but the candidate has not posted or shared any related content since winning the primary
Bottom Line
- While no surprise to many, the change comes at the height of the January 6 hearings, and as Oz has continued to signal support for many ideals that do not align with the America First policies.
- The move prompted radio host Kimberly Klacik to call Oz and "Snake."
