Dr. Mehmet Oz' ties to Oprah Winfrey didn't appear to be enough to receive her endorsement in Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate race.
"I will tell you all this, if I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman for many reasons,” Winfrey said during a virtual town hall.
Winfrey is considered a coveted endorsement. The former talk show host introduced millions of Americans to Oz on"The Oprah Winfrey Show." He was a regular guest on the show prior to launching his own talk show. While Winfrey's endorsement may come as a surprise to some, she is known to endorse Democrat candidates over Republicans.
The race between Fetterman and Oz will be one of the most closely-watched contests of the midterms. Polling indicates it's anyone's race. The two candidates participated in one debate this cycle. Fetterman, who is recovering from a stroke, appeared to struggle to put thoughts and sentences together at times during the debate. Oz has tried to capitalize on Fetterman's debate performance, saying he isn't ready for the job.
