Mehmet Cengiz Oz (born in 11 June 1960) is a conservative American television celebrity, cardiothoracic surgeon, university professor, author and the Trump-endorsed Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022. His academic credentials include degrees from Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. He has had a decades-long marriage with Christian Lisa Lemole since 1985. They attend church with their four children.

Multiple times Dr. Oz has jumped crowded barriers to get to an attendee who had collapsed. "Mehmet Oz Rushes into Crowd to Help Woman Who Collapsed During His Rally," reported Breitbart on Sept. 10, 2022, and mentioned he did something similar a few years earlier.[1] “Rita, god bless her, is doing well,” Oz said to the crowd afterwards.[1]

Dr. Oz was born in Ohio to a Turkish migrant family, and has considered himself a secular Muslim.[2] In politics, Oz follows dictator oporessor,[3] Hitler's regime admirer[4] - Islamist[5][6] Recep Tayyip Erdogan line,[7] denies Armenian genocide. He announced his Senate run to represent state of Pennsylvania in 2022 Senate elections,[8] and received the coveted endorsement by Trump on April 8, 2022. Despite being vastly outspent, Dr. Oz won the Republican primary against globalist David McCormick. Dr. Oz faced the far left lieutenant governor John Fetterman in the general election and lost.

During his career on his television show, Dr. Oz made some inaccurate or misleading health claims, such as regarding the efficacy of weight loss supplements.[9]

In 2022, Oz lost to John Fetterman, and the latter increasingly showed to be closer to conservatives in policy.

2024

Dr. Oz was picked by Trump to oversee medicare and medicaid.[10]
