Kevin Mazur | Getty Images Oprah Winfrey said Thursday she will vote for Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman over Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in the must-win Senate race in Pennsylvania. It’s a remarkable parody of Oz, a former talk show host backed by former President Donald Trump who became a celebrity doctor and became famous largely through his relationship with Winfrey. A talk show superstar and media titan herself, Winfrey was the first guest on Oz’s early 2000s show “Second Opinion” and has invited Oz on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” regularly for years. Her company launched “The Dr. Oz Show,” which ran for 13 seasons and ended in January. But Winfrey endorsed Fetterman, along with a number of other Democrats in high-profile Senate races, in a mock during a mock get-out-the-vote event Thursday afternoon. “I’ll tell you all this, if I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already voted for John Fetterman for a number of reasons,” Oprah said. With less than a week until Election Day, polls show Fetterman and Oz surging in the Keystone State. The race for the Senate seat left open by GOP Sen. Pat Toomey’s withdrawal is seen as one of the most competitive in the country as Democrats try to defend their narrow Senate majority. Fetterman, who is recovering from a life-threatening stroke in May, has accused Oz of being an unknown elitist and carpetbagger from New Jersey. Oz has accused Fetterman of being too left-leaning for a swing state and soft on crime, and has questioned whether he is healthy enough to serve as a senator. “And it’s not the only race that matters,” Winfrey said. He said he would vote for Democrat Cheri Beasley over GOP Rep. Ted Budd of North Carolina and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s Democratic challenger Val Demings if he could. In the same breath, Winfrey endorsed: Democratic Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes over incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson in Wisconsin. Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto vs. GOP candidate Adam Laxalt in Nevada. and Sen. Raphael Warnock over Republican Herschel Walker in Georgia. 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. “So there are clear choices out there and some strong candidates who are working to represent the values ​​— this is what we’re talking about — the values ​​that we hold dear, the values ​​of inclusion, the values ​​of compassion and community that we share so much,” Winfrey said. . “So use your discernment, which seems to be lacking in much of our country today. Use your discernment and choose wisely for our country’s democracy,” he added. Fetterman in a statement called it “an honor and a privilege to have Oprah’s support in this fight.” “He is a leader on so many issues – fighting for our democracy, voting for common sense gun reform and ensuring racial justice,” Fetterman said. “I am grateful for Oprah’s support and confidence in the issues that matter to people across the country and in Pennsylvania as we close out this campaign.” A spokeswoman for Oz’s campaign did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on Winfrey’s endorsement. In a statement to NBC News, his campaign said: “Dr. Oz loves Oprah and respects the fact that they have different politics. He believes we need more balance and less extremism in Washington.”
