(The Guardian) “I said it was up to the citizens of Pennsylvania and of course, but I will tell you all this, if I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman for many reasons,” Oprah Winfrey said last night in announcing her endorsement of Pennsylvania’s Democratic Senate candidate.
Fetterman’s race is among those that have grown tighter in recent weeks as polls showed rising support for his Republican competitor Mehmet Oz. The endorsement of Winfrey – an icon to many Americans, particularly women and African Americans – is seen as a shot at revitalizing his chances.
It’s likely also a bitter moment for Oz, who was a staple on Winfrey’s show before launching his own. “Doctor Oz loves Oprah and respects the fact that they have different politics. He believes we need more balance and less extremism in Washington,” a spokesman for his campaign told Politico.
