Former President Donald Trump this weekend endorsed best-selling author and TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz in his Republican run for the U.S. Senate, but some on the political right are less than enthused by the pick, calling it the “worst possible.”
“I’ve known him for a long time. He’s a tremendous guy, very smart, Harvard educated,” Trump said of Oz in an interview with Newsmax TV.
“He went to the Wharton school of finance, and he also went to Penn medical school. That’s a pretty unusual combination. And he’s just been a very strong, reliable guy – loves the state; loves the people – and he’ll be a great senator.”
Trump issued a written statement about Dr. Oz, stating:
“This is all about winning elections in order to stop the radical-left maniacs from destroying our country.”

“The Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has a tremendous opportunity to Save America by electing the brilliant and well-known Dr. Mehmet Oz for the United States Senate.
“I have known Dr. Oz for many years, as have many others, even if only through his very successful television show. He has lived with us through the screen and has always been popular, respected, and smart. He even said that I was in extraordinary health, which made me like him even more (although he also said I should lose a couple of pounds!).”
“He has authored more than 350 original publications, written eight New York Times bestsellers, and received patents for developing medical devices that have improved countless lives and performed thousands of life-saving heart operations,” Trump continued.
