Trump said Oz has the best chance of winning the general election: “He has lived with us on screen and has always been popular, respected and smart … Women, in particular, are attracted to Dr. Oz for his advice and advice”.

Why it matters: Trump remains very popular with Republican voters in the primary. Thus, the approval is a blow to Dave McCormick, the former CEO of hedge funds and a member of the government of President George W. Bush, who has a strong run and is Oz’s closest competitor. Between the lines: Former president’s wife, Melania Trump, and Fox News’s Sean Hannidi, friends of Oz, have been pushing Trump to support him instead of electing McCormick or remaining neutral, Axios sources say Jonathan Swan. It’s worth noting: McCormick’s adviser and GOP general Jeff Roe retweeted the text of Trump’s approval with his own conclusion: “[email protected] he will be the next senator from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. “ What he says: Here is Trump’s full statement, issued in conjunction with a rally in North Carolina on Saturday night: “This is about winning the election to stop the Maniacs of the Radical Left from destroying our country.

It will ensure that America becomes Energy Independent again. Dr. Oz also believes with passion in high quality education and protection of parental involvement in the whole process. Perhaps most importantly, I believe that Mehmet Oz will be the most capable of winning the General Election against a Radical Left Democrat who wants to do unthinkable harm to our country. “Women, in particular, are attracted to Dr. Oz for his advice and counsel. I have seen him many times over the years. They know him, they believe in him and they trust him. Likewise, he will do very well in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, where other candidates will simply not be accepted. Dr. Oz.
