TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz on Tuesday launched his campaign to become the next U.S. senator from Pennsylvania. Oz made the announcement in a Washington Examiner op-ed, which sharply criticized how the government has responded to the but did not mention the word “Pennsylvania” once. He asserted that “many” of the COVID deaths “were preventable.” “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. Oz, a Republican, joins several other candidates who are vying for the hotly contested seat being vacated by retiring GOP Senator Pat Toomey.
