"It’s preposterous," he told host Harris Faulkner, noting that he has agreed to six specific debates — including one that would have been held Friday — while Fetterman's campaign has not made any specific offers on dates or locations.
"John Fetterman has agreed to precisely zero debates. He doesn’t have the interest of the voters at hand. He’s dodging because he doesn’t want to debate me."
Fetterman, whose health has become an issue in recent months, responded by saying, "But let’s be clear, this has never really been about debates for Dr. Oz. This whole thing has been about Dr. Oz and his team mocking me for having a stroke because they’ve got nothing else."
Oz expressed empathy for Fetterman’s health issues but refuted the claim and maintained that Fetterman doesn’t want his "far-left radical" policies on display.
"This is not about health. John Fetterman is trying to make it about health so people feel sorry for him," Oz said. "This is about honesty and integrity."
"We should have a senator who is capable of doing the job and fighting for them," he added, again stressing the importance of the public hearing from the candidates before early voting begins.
"Democracy is based on transparency," Oz said.
While Oz sits six to seven points behind Fetterman in the polls, he remained confident and said he’s "gaining rapidly" on his opponent (4 points in recent polls) as he believes the independent vote will shift in his favor.
"We will prevail in November," Oz said.

If Fetterman can't debate, he's misleading Pennsylvanians about his health.
If he's just scared to defend his soft-on-crime positions, he should come clean.
Either way, Pennsylvania should vote for @DrOz!— Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) September 8, 2022
Tonight would have been another opportunity for John Fetterman to debate the issues in front of Pennsylvanians on @69News - he declined.— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) September 9, 2022
Hey, @PittsburghPG - when is the debate? Where is it being held? Who is the moderator? You can’t answer…because imaginary debates don’t count.https://t.co/kYVeaVZ8Hd— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) September 9, 2022
John Fetterman says he is well, but refuses to stand on the debate stage. Pennsylvanians deserve to know the truth. pic.twitter.com/7Rg9a6mAP4— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) September 9, 2022
Fetterman will postpone until well after mail-in voting begins. It’s the only way Fetterman has a chance to win.
When I was a child, there was the ditty; "Heads I win, tails you lose!"
For Uncle Fester, how is this any different?
Uncle Fester of the Addams Family is a hobgoblin, a mere wisp of humanity, and a charlatan to boot.
He cannot debate, because he simply cannot think that fast. Doctor Oz would have made three scoring points before Uncle Fester could muster even gibberish in reply, then lowering his head to charge like a bull.
And end up at the other side of the arena, panting and out of breath, looking around, baffled that Doctor Oz is standing there untouched.
And the crowd is cheering “Ole!” and “Bravo!”
Of course, Uncle Fester would think the cheering was for him.
I thought Fetterman said the debate was on?
The last couple of Islamists we added to our government just weren’t enough. But, I know we had better do it, because that’s better than a leftist.
But there was a catch. His campaign completely refuses to work on setting a date, time, and place.
(His campaign could *buy* the time on Philly and Pittsburgh TV stations. It shouldn't more expensive than all those campaign ads that nobody listens to.)
