Oz, a Republican backed by Trump, grew into a TV celebrity largely through his appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Oprah Winfrey said Thursday she would vote for Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman over Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in the must-win Senate race in Pennsylvania.
But Winfrey endorsed Fetterman, along with a slate of other Democrats in high-profile Senate races, in a virtual during a virtual get-out-the-vote event Thursday evening. Fetterman, who is recovering after suffering a life-threatening stroke in May, has slammed Oz as an out-of-touch elitist and a carpetbagger from New Jersey. Oz has accused Fetterman of being too far left for the swing state and soft on crime, and has questioned whether he is health enough to serve as senator.
Winfrey also said she would vote for Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke, a Democrat, over incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, as well as Stacey Abrams, the Democrat running to unseat Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in Georgia.
