The former governor said he was most impressed by Dr. Oz’s intellect and his desire to serve the commonwealth and nation with passion and energy.

“Having him come to support me, especially in firm belief the kind of leadership that I can offer to the people of Pennsylvania and in the United States Senate at a federal level, means the world to me,” said Dr. Mehmet Oz, Republican nominee for U.S. Senate.

Ridge is an idiot, but I would still vote Oz if I lived there. Oz was very brave in promoting HCQ early on. Now we know that Ivermectin works even better.

I don’t think this is particularly bad but certainly not particularly good. Besides he couldn’t very well endorse Shrek could he? :-)

There are pathetic trailer trash losers here on FR applying petty purity tests to Oz and desperately trying to boost the communist fetterman because “muh candidatez no pur enuff!!”

It’s Oz or fetterman. Period. Oz may not be perfect, but he isn’t a commie. This isn’t the time for purity tests.

Scary clown.

Ridge also sits on the board of directors of the Atlantic Council.[34]

He currently sits on the bipartisan advisory board of States United Democracy Center.[46]

Across the country, politicians who continue to spread lies about our elections are seeking control over future elections. If these Election Deniers succeed, they could try to interfere with nonpartisan election administration and put our free, fair, and secure elections at risk.

The Replacing the Refs tracker follows Election Deniers running for governor, secretary of state, and attorney general in 2022. These state officials are the referees of our democracy. They run elections, supervise vote counts, certify results, and defend the will of the voters in court.

Election Deniers are running on lies and conspiracy theories, and they are a threat to our democracy. The state officials we elect this year will oversee the 2024 election. Giving Election Deniers that power would be like putting arsonists in charge of the fire department.

The data below tracks Election Denier candidates, state by state, heading into the general election.

Oz needs all the help he can get. We need to hold that seat.

Yeah, I'd rather vote for the lesser of two evils, so at least I can bitch, and complain about them, and their votes for the next 2 or 6 years, depending on what office they are running for.

That's sarcasm for those of you who live in Rio Linda.

Yep, we've got to hold that seat, especially if he ends up voting with the Democrats.

No matter how wacko a Democratic candidate might be, senior establishment Democrats never abandon them, Republicans are just the opposite, Tom Ridge is an establishment Republican who I don’t care about, but I will give him credit for stepping up for Dr. Oz
