How Fetterman drew Oprah into the race against Oz
Politico
The longtime talk show host helped launch Oz's career on TV, but she's backing his opponent in the Pennsylvania Senate race.

John Fetterman and his allies have been trying to nab Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement for months.
On Thursday, they landed their target, as the superstar announced at a virtual get-out-the-vote event that she is supporting the Democrat in Pennsylvania’s critical race for the Senate.
“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,” Winfrey said.
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.
