TV Personality Dr. Oz is running for US Senate from Pennsylvania!

Dr. Oz will run for Pennsylvania's open U.S. Senate seat as a Republican: Complete story here!  

Dr. Mehmet Oz, better known as Dr. Oz from the daytime television show, The Dr. Oz Show, is bidding to run in the 2022 U.S. Senate election in Pennsylvania. The television personality announced his candidacy on Tuesday. While Oz is supposedly running as a Republican, sources tell Pennsylvania's Republicans are perplexed by his decision. 

"During the pandemic, I learned that when you mix politics and medicine, you get politics instead of solutions. That's why I am running for the U.S. Senate: to help fix the problems and to help us heal," Oz wrote. In a sixty-second video Oz posted on his campaign website, he says, "Pennsylvania needs a conservative who will put America first."
