Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Mehmet Oz faced off against each other in Pennsylvania's 2022 Senate race.
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said Wednesday he would vote to confirm Mehmet Oz, his Republican opponent in Pennsylvania's 2022 Senate race, as the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services under a certain condition.
“If Dr. Oz is about protecting and preserving Medicare and Medicaid, I’m voting for the dude,” Sen. Fettermanby CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju, who suggested the senator indicated he was “very much open” to voting to confirm Oz. I’m going to be very, very clear if Dr. Oz agrees to protect and preserve Medicaid and Medicare, I’m absolutely going to vote for the dude,” Sen. Fetterman reportedly told Raju. “That’s the most important thing for me.”“Our politics are obviously different, and we do have a history, but I don’t have any bitterness,” Raju quoted Fetterman as saying. “I don’t hold anything against him. As long as he’s willing to protect and preserve Medicaid and Medicare, I’m voting for the dude.
“He will also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency, which is a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire National Budget,” Trump wrote. The president-elect added that there may not be any physician more qualified and capable than Oz to “Make America Healthy Again.” Oz“I look forward to serving my country to Make America Healthy Again under the leadership of HHS Secretary @RobertKennedyJr,” he wrote.
