The Trump-backed Oz said Tuesday that he 'would not have objected to' approving President Joe Biden's election victory if he had been in the Senate at the time.
As of August 31, FiveThirtyEight's polling average showed Fetterman with support from 48.3 percent of voters compared to 40.2 percent supporting Oz, an 8.1-point difference. But while Oz is trailing Fetterman in polls overall, he might have an edge with Independent voters. A Susquehanna Polling and Research survey released on August 30 found that among registered independents, Oz was leading Fetterman 50 to 40.
"In the primary election, such a statement would have sunk him, as there were several GOP candidates running who stated they would not have voted to certify the 2020 election results," Chen toldOz's top challenger in the GOP primary, David McCormick,as the celebrity surgeon was shown to be leading by a razor-thin margin of less than 1,000 votes.
"By making this statement, however, Oz moves toward claiming the moderate label before Fetterman does," Chen said."He has shown his willingness to buck his party, which Fetterman has not demonstrated. Voters in the middle who are concerned with the MAGA movement and also concerned that the Lt. Governor is too far left may begin to see Oz in a more favorable light or, in the least, as a compromise candidate.
