Dr. Mehmet Oz.Oz, 61, currently seeks to represent the people of Pennsylvania in the US Senate. Since announcing his candidacy last November, he has tripped over one obstacle after the next.
First, he saw his syndicated talk show pulled from reruns on a number of stations in three major markets to avoid violation of the equal time rule.Ratings for his show also plummeted in markets where it remained on the air.
In addition, Oz invited wide criticism by voicing support for the anti-transgender views of JK Rowling, criticizing “cancel culture”, and calling for Dr.
Anthony Fauci to be fired over his handling of the pandemic.Related: Dr. Oz’s latest attempt at relevance backfires spectacularlyStraw polls for the Pennsylvania Senate seat have found Oz falling far behind his fellow GOP primary contenders despite spending over $5 million on TV ads.
