Oprah Winfrey said Thursday she would vote for Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman over Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz in the must-win Senate race in Pennsylvania.

It’s a notable snub for Oz, a former talk-show host backed by former President Donald rump who became a celebrity doctor and a household name largely through his association with Winfrey.Herself a talk-show superstar and media titan, Winfrey was the first guest on Oz’s early-2000s show “Second Opinion,” and she invited Oz on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” regularly for years.

Her company launched “The Dr. Oz Show,” which ran for 13 seasons and ended in January.But Winfrey endorsed Fetterman, along with a slate of other Democrats in high-profile Senate races, during a virtual get-out-the-vote event Thursday evening.

“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 said.
