Dr. Mehmet Oz swears Mitch McConnell doesn’t think he’s bad

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the struggling Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate, insisted Thursday morning that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell did not refer to him when he lamented the “candidate quality” of some of the party’s candidates.

underestimated expectations of the “red wave” that would drive Democrats out of the Senate majority, McConnell said last week It is “more likely that the House of Representatives will overturn than the Senate.” Without naming names, the Kentucky lawmaker suggested that a batch of inexperienced candidates backed by Trump would reduce the Republican Party’s chances.

“Senate races are very different—they are statewide, and the quality of the candidate has a lot to do with the outcome,” he said candidly to the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.

Oz, who is currently trailing Democratic opponent Jon Fetterman by double digits In a large number of recent opinion pollsFox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo denied that the Senate Republican leader believes he is among those low-quality candidates.

“Do you get support from the Republican Party?” Bartiromo started. “Look, let’s face it, people were a little pushed back the other day when Mitch McConnell came out and said, ‘Well, maybe it’s 50/50, we’re not going to win because we have some bad candidates. “

“Was he talking about you?” asked the pro-Trump business host.

“It wasn’t,” Oz confidently declared. “And I will tell you, he expressed himself very clearly in his pocket. He put $34 million into my race. That’s a lot of money.”

The TV Doctor continued, “And if you actually listen carefully to what he was saying, it highlights the importance of quality candidates so much in a state race. It always matters. When you have to talk to a lot of voters, you have to make sure you’re there. Tireless. I’ve been tireless campaigning.”

Next, Oz conducted inaccurate research into the health of Fetterman, who is recovering from a stroke he suffered a few months earlier. Oz’s campaign recently sparked a backlash by saying the Democratic candidate would not have had a stroke if he had “eat vegetables” in his life.

“My opponent has twice left his house to participate in the campaign,” Oz stated. People in Pennsylvania want change. I am the candidate for change.”

While Trump endorsed Oz touting the amount of money Senate Leadership Fund pledge spending Promote his campaign, Senate Republican National Committee Recently slashed millions of advertising dollars In Pennsylvania and other major states it is a battleground for the Republican Party as GOP candidates struggle.

Additionally, Oz had a hard time gaining traction with Pennsylvania voters, especially since Fetterman and Democrats portrayed him as a matchless elitist. The New Jersey native wasn’t helped by recent headlines that showed he was complaining about the price of putting together a rough patch or misinformation about how many homes he owns. (By the way, the answer is 10).

Not surprisingly, former President Donald Trump did not take kindly to McConnell’s apparent criticism of his chosen candidates.
