If support from Trump is important in the Republican primary, then Oz may have a leg up. In his video message, he touts his entrepreneurship, saying he “invented a heart valve that saves thousands of lives.” He was appointed by Trump to the presidential Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, guest-hosted the Jeopardy! game show and helped save a dying man at Newark Liberty International Airport last winter. Oz’s resume is dizzying: heart surgeon, author of New York Times bestsellers, Emmy-winning TV show host, radio talk show host, presidential appointee, founder of a national non-profit to educate teens about healthy habits and self-styled ambassador for wellness.
His 1 percentage point victory put the swing state back in Democratic hands after Trump won it even more narrowly in 2016. Oz in recent days has told associates and Republicans in Pennsylvania of his plans and, according to a TV show spokesperson, has lived and voted in Pennsylvania since last year.Īs one of the nation’s biggest presidential electoral prizes, Pennsylvania put Democrat Joe Biden over the top in last year’s election. “Pennsylvania needs a conservative who will put America first, one who can reignite our divine spark, bravely fight for freedom and tell it like it is.” “As a heart surgeon, I know how precious life is,” Oz says. Oz also makes a pitch to Trump loyalists - and possibly Trump, too - by invoking Trump’s slogan for his governing philosophy, “America first.”
In a video message on social media, Oz casts himself as a sort of champion for people’s health, who “took on the medical establishment to argue against costly drugs and skyrocketing medical bills” and is prepared to fight a government that he said has mishandled the COVID-19 pandemic.
