Donald Trump endorsed celebrity physician Mehmet Oz over former Bridgewater Associates executive David McCormick in the Republican primary for a Pennsylvania Senate seat, providing crucial support that could swing a close race.
The choice of Oz over the former Wall Street executive is arguably the former president’s most consequential nod of the 2022 midterms. Addressing a rally Saturday evening, Trump called Oz a “good man, Harvard-educated” with a “tremendous career” who had proved his popularity with his long-running “Dr. Oz” television show.
