Dr. Mehmet Oz, who earned former President Donald Trump’s primary-race endorsement in April, is going down in flames according to a new GOP poll.
Republican-affiliated Public Opinion Strategies reports that surgeon-turned-TV-host Dr. Oz trails Democrat John Fetterman by nearly 20 points!
Trump gave Oz his “complete and total endorsement” before the wide-open GOP primary of six candidates, a move that probably sealed the deal with Pennsylvania Republicans.
The doc won in a squeaker, barely beating out second-place finisher David McCormick, 31.2% to 31.1%.
The former president praised Oz’s positions on abortion, crime, the Second Amendment, border security, the military, education, energy independence, and election fraud. Those are all well and good, but before lending an endorsement, someone in Trump’s position first needs to determine whether the recipient is at all likely to win the general election.
In Dr. Oz’s case, right now that’s a big, fat NO.
Let’s face it: He is not a good candidate.
After winning his primary, Oz went AWOL.
While Fetterman was literally incapacitated by a stroke, the doc failed to capitalize on a prime opportunity to define himself and his prone opponent:
Recent reporting suggests that Oz might not have taken advantage of those several weeks where Fetterman was sidelined, a significant span of time during a race that could be integral to party control of the Senate.
Puck is reporting that the former TV personality was in Palm Beach, Florida, until June 9 at least, not holding his first post-primary event until June 10. Oz reportedly also traveled to Ireland to visit family at the end of June and did not return until early July.

Split what? If anything I’m supporting the guy Trump wants to win!!! To not do that splits the base!!!
Please do not let Whitmer win there!!! She is a mass murderer! Volunteer your time and money for Dixon and get everyone you know to do the same!
We have lots of Fetterman fan club members on this very site. With “friends” like these, who needs enemies?
I have no time to waste with jokers that talk all over the map. You want DeSantis? This is what I tell your troll fellows .....
DeSantis says you can stand on your head and fart at the sky all day long
Get to it.
And I have no patience for people who try to get Dems elected! Go to Dem underground...theyd love you there! It’s a reality that while I like Trump, he can be very thickheaded when it comes to public opinion and reading the room! I would still support him of he runs and support Oz due in large part to his endorsement...because I agree with Trump on the issues. Sorry to be so complex and intelligent!
Piss off noob.
Hostage has been here a whole lot longer than you and has been a reliable poster encouraging “the cause”.
Yeah...Mitch McConnell’s been around a while too. Doesn’t give the guy carte blanche to attack Trumps hand-picked candidate and help depress turnout amongst conservatives helping a far lefty win!
Sure thing Skippy.
You piss off too. What’s the difference between Romney/McConnell and you two? Nothing as you seem to be on their side and against ours!
Yeah, they’re probably also in the Tulsi fan club too.
Maybe. But with Trumps endorsement McCormick would be in a better position. Oz will get smoked because he’s a horrible candidate.
