Well-known celebrity physician Mehmet Oz on Tuesday will declare his candidacy for the Senate in Pennsylvania, joining a competitive Republican primary field in the crucial battleground state, multiple sources confirmed to Fox News.
The announcement by the 61-year old Oz – a cardiac surgeon, author and host of TV’s "Dr. Oz Show" – is widely expected Tuesday afternoon as he’s already been assembling a campaign staff in the 2022 race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Pat Toomey.
Oz is expected to sit down for his first national interview as a Senate candidate on Tuesday evening on Fox News’ "Hannity." Host Sean Hannity teased Oz's appearance at the end of his Monday night program, saying that he had a "huge announcement" and hinted "think midterm election."
Oz enters the GOP Senate primary with sizable name recognition – thanks to his long-running TV show. Oz grabbed national attention more than a decade ago when Oprah Winfrey introduced him to her program’s massive audience. He would also be able to self-fund his Senate bid by dipping into his estimated net worth of roughly $100 million.
The candidate had lived for years in New Jersey, but Oz registered to vote as a Republican last December in Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County, using the home of his wife’s parents in the affluent Philadelphia suburb of Bryn Athyn as his residence. According to election records, he’s voted twice by absentee ballot in Pennsylvania this year. Oz previously lived in the Keystone State decades ago, as he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s medical school and Wharton business school in 1986.
Oz is a political outsider and first-time candidate, and he will face scrutiny as little is known about his political beliefs.

Last year, during numerous appearances on the Fox News Channel amid the coronavirus pandemic, he promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine to treat against COVID-19.
Interesting. Would be the First Muslim in the US Senate.
I’m voting for Lou Barletta.
RE: Interesting. Would be the First Muslim in the US Senate.
Dr. Oz is really a mixed bag when it comes to religion.
Dr. Oz is a Muslim who practices Sufi Islam because of its focus on spirituality. Oz goes on to say how he was more attracted to the spiritual element of religion rather than the legal, historical, social aspects. This eventually led him to the Sufi Muslims, who he feels were able to separate away the “99% of reality that we think is there and looking at the real, important 1% beneath the veneer, the true connection with God.
Beyond Islam, Oz was introduced and attached himself to the Protestant mysticism of his wife’s religion–Swedenborgian Christianity. This small, mostly unknown sect of Protestantism is based around the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, who was known for his God-inspired trances (similar to the whirling, spinning trances advocated by the Sufi Muslims) and his out-of-body experiences during which Swedenborg claims to have visited various planets in the solar system
So, Oz is a muslim, but seems to hold a nuanced view of his religion, weighing the many sects for their pros and cons and even venturing outside of Islam for some of his spiritual views.
He oozes sleaziness.
100% agree
What the fu ?????
He’s no Republican. He’s a phony, fake doctor, a media personality women adore. This is a joke.
And he’s using a fraudulent address in PA to register and vote and now run for office? And this passes the smell test??
This is a joke. Sweet Jesus don’t let him get away with it.
Losing Sean Parnell (thanks big O…this is your tactic) will probably cost us this seat in PA, unless we can come together around a strong candidate…..
And Dr. Oz is not one.
Wait till Oprah comes out to endorse him.
He’s running for governor I believe
Blowprah did a lot to put Caliph Baraq in the WH back when she was on network syndication every day.
These days I think her influence is much diminished.
And Oprah will have another on in politics- remember when obama was ‘The Won’?
On the plus side, while he probably cannot win the Republican race, he can certainly drag a lot of Democrat viewers/fans away from the Democrat candidate if the winner tries to “keep him in his sphere” during the general election, even giving him a job in his administration if he wins.
Bad news.
After Obama's presidential run and Hillary's senate run, well..
RE: Bad news.
Can you elaborate?
He had or still has dual citizenship- US and Turkey. He lives in NJ for over 20 years and has been using in-laws Penn address to vote. There has to be a better candidate.
I believe he served in the Turkish military rather than serve in the U.S. Military. Story is that he did that to keep his Turkish citizenship.
Other posters on this thread have made germane comments about why this fellow's candidacy is bad news.
Beyond those comments, it may be observed that as a Mohammedan, his belief system is fundamentally and irreconcilably inconsistent with American government.
Because of the doctrine of Taqiyya , which not only allows, but encourages Mohammedans to lie so long as the lying serves to advance the cause of Mohammedanism, one can never know what a Mohammedan really thinks.
