Dr. Oz is making his way around Pennsylvania as a candidate for U.S. Senate in town hall-style settings that seem very much like the TV studio where he once presided.
Mehmet Oz, the TV celebrity and heart surgeon who is running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, talks with attendees Bob and Eileen Walker after Oz spoke at a town hall-style event at the Newtown Athletic Club, Feb. 20, 2022, in Newtown, Pa. – The banners and big red video screen all said Dr. Oz, the host gave a rousing introduction and in strode the candidate, Mehmet Oz, to take up the microphone and become the center of attention for more than an hour.
“I know this is not a pep rally,” he said, pacing in front of seated rows in an events room at the Newtown Athletic Club in suburban Philadelphia. “It really is for you to understand who I am, which is exactly what I want. I want skeptical people kicking the tires. ‘Is this guy legit? Does he represent my values? Yeah, I know him from television, but what is he really about?’”Then he took questions, campaign aides with microphones picking their way through the crowd of well over 200.
The strategy is similar to the one used to great effect by Donald Trump, a former television star himself, during his successful 2016 presidential bid.
