With Pennsylvania's GOP Senate primary uncertain, Senate Republicans suggested this week that they might embrace Dr. Oz's nascent campaign to replace retiring Sen. Pat Toomey
Senate Republicans are open to Dr. Oz as the miracle cure for their headaches in Pennsylvania.
“It’s a good sign for the Republican Party that somebody of his standing and stature would want to run under the Republican banner,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham , a close ally of former President Donald Trump. “He’s got an incredible background and personal story. It’s good news for the Republican Party, and I think he’d be very competitive.”
Pennsylvania is widely viewed as a bellwether in next year's fight for the Senate majority, and though Toomey is a Republican, the GOP knows there’s no guarantee the seat will stay red. The state is a perennial battleground: In 2020, President Joe Biden won Pennsylvania by about one point. And while it's not clear yet how competitive Oz will be in the GOP primary, Republican senators certainly aren’t counting him out.
“It's great to have someone who certainly is a game-changer the very first moment,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer . “Who doesn't love a guy that’s got 100 percent name ID and a whole bunch of money?”
