In an interview with Fox News, Oz was asked: “Do you believe in the 2020 election [was] stolen?” “I have been asked this question many times. I’m a doctor, I’m very precise with the words I use. There’s a lot more information we need to gather to determine that, and I’d love to gather some,” Oz replied. “I think it would improve the process overall.” Many Republican candidates and office holders have faced a similar dilemma in how to portray Trump’s loss to Biden in 2020 without offending the former president and his supporters. But just hours before his Fox News interview, Oz appeared to express a different take on the 2020 results. At an event with Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., Oz said that if he were a senator on Jan. 6 2021, would have voted to certify Biden’s victory. “I wouldn’t mind,” Oz told reporters. “Until the delegates and those reports were sent to the US Senate, our job was to pass it. That’s what I would do.” In all, 8 Senate Republicans and 139 House GOP members voted to block the certification of the election results, many of whom said more information was needed to determine the winner in states such as Pennsylvania, which Trump lost by more than from 80,000 votes. Numerous legal challenges as well as federal audits of the results failed to overturn the result. Dr. Oz with Donald Trump at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, PA on September 3. (Andrew Kelly/Reuters) Last weekend, Trump campaigned with Oz in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., where he railed against the Biden administration over the FBI raid on his Florida residence and continued to push his baseless claim that election fraud cost him the victory. at the state and national level. “I won Pennsylvania by a lot,” Trump told his audience as Oz and Doug Mastriano, an election-denying and far-right Democratic gubernatorial candidate, looked on. The story continues Trump also went after Democratic Oz Senate opponent Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, calling out his everyday dress style on the campaign trail. “Fetterman may dress like a teenager in his parents’ basement, but he’s a raving lunatic who wants to break hardened criminals out of prison in the midst of the worst crime wave in Pennsylvania history,” Trump said. Fetterman made sure to highlight Trump and Oz’s joint appearance in a fundraising appeal after the rally.
