Oprah Winfrey helped launch Mehmet Oz's TV career. Last night, she endorsed his opponent John Fetterman in the Pennsylvania Senate race. 'If I lived in Pennsylvania, I would've already cast my vote for John Fetterman, for many reasons,' she said.
John Fetterman's orbit knew how powerful a nod from Winfrey would be, and it worked behind the scenes to court her. | Chris Pizzello/AP PhotoJohn Fetterman and his allies have been trying to nab Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement for months.
The comments are a big deal not only because of Winfrey’s unique status among women, Black people, and many other Americans — but also because she helped make Fetterman’s Republican opponent, Mehmet Oz, famous. Celebrities and prominent Democrats who support Fetterman also urged Winfrey to back him, the source said.
Fetterman said in a statement that he is grateful for her support: “She is a leader on so many issues — fighting for our democracy, passing common-sense gun reform, and ensuring racial justice.”
