An Analysis of Dr. Oz’s Discourse About Gender Transition and the Future of Children’s Hospital: Comment on CNN Political Analogue of the CNN-Newton Spectator
The former Republican congressman from Pennsylvania was Chair of the House Ethics Committee from 2015 to 2017 and Chair of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies from 2015 to 2018). He is a CNN political commentator. His views are his own in this commentary. View more opinion on CNN.
There are two statewide open seat races, with Gov. Tom Wolf finishing his second term and US Sen. Pat Toomey retiring. It is something that is extremely rare in the commonwealth.
Some of the voters who supported Mr. Trump in the last presidential election are planning to vote for Dr. Mehmet Oz this year. A majority of Dr. Oz’s supporters said they would vote for Mr. Shapiro.
Shapiro has dominated the airwaves. During an interview last week on Real America’s Voice network, Mastriano made up a story that said the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia was experimenting on homeless kids and kids in foster care with gender transitioning, something that is irreversible.
While she voted for Mr. Fetterman, Emmy McQuaid had a more sympathetic view of Dr. Oz. She said that she thought he was a good man. I am not sure how his health will hold up, but I think his intentions may be good. I think Dr. Oz’s would have too, but I’d like to see John have a go.”
Fetterman had a stroke and has issues with hearing that may affect his ability to perform his duties as a senator. All eyes are on Fetterman since he will use closed caption during the debate. Neurological experts say people with hearing issues use closed caption.
The Rise and Fall of Oz: The Case for a Democrat-Governing Body in Pennsylvania, and Implications for the Inflation, Taxes, Fracking and the Green New Deal
Polling is very close. Oz emerged from a brutal GOP primary that drove his unfavorable ratings high among Republicans as well as Democrats and independents. Republican voters have returned to Oz.
He and his allies have been pounding Fetterman on inflation, taxes, fracking and the Green New Deal, a plan to wean the United States from fossil fuels and cut greenhouse gas emissions. Fetterman, an early supporter of US Sen. Bernie Sanders, has been attacked as a radical socialist.
Fetterman has been praised by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, the subject of impeachment proceedings in the capital, Harrisburg, as being effective in moving commutations and pardons in the modern direction.
Fetterman hammered Oz on abortion rights in the Philadelphia media market, where the issue is more prominent than in the four suburban collar counties. Fetterman has also attempted to tie Oz to Mastriano and all the baggage that comes with him.
All things considered, there is a reason for Republican optimism. Republican momentum is building nationally as likely voters express concerns about inflation and the economy, and Oz is well-positioned to win. Republicans are surging throughout the country on economic issues, notwithstanding candidate quality problems, the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision on abortion, and former President Donald Trump’s unhelpful midterm interventions.
Pennsylvania also features three toss-up House races — in the Lehigh Valley, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and suburban Pittsburgh-based seats. In particular, watch the Lehigh Valley race between incumbent Democratic Rep. Susan Wild and Republican challenger Lisa Scheller, who runs a family-owned manufacturing business. It’s the seat I held for nearly 14 years and is among the most competitive swing districts in the country. CNN’s John King produced an excellent report on the Lehigh Valley’s Northampton County, a key national bellwether that may determine the fate of the statewide races and control of Congress.
Voting for Dr. Oz and Mr. Shapiro: The Case for a Black Man Who Is Still Mystified by the Results of the Capitol Riot
Times reporters cover politics. Journalists are important to being independent observers. So while Times staff members may vote, they are not allowed to endorse or campaign for candidates or political causes. This includes participating in marches or rallies in support of a movement or giving money to, or raising money for, any political candidate or election cause.
A man who is now on disability said he usually voted for Republicans. He backed Mr. Trump in 2016 but skipped the presidential election in 2020, he said, because he was dissatisfied with both of the major parties’ candidates.
Now Mr. Rutter, who said he watched all of the televised hearings by the congressional panel investigating the Capitol riot, said he was voting for Dr. Oz and Mr. Shapiro, both of whom he views as centrist candidates who would honor the results of their elections.
Only a small percentage of voters wanted to back a candidate who thought Mr. Biden did not win in one of the four states. Most people said they didn’t care or preferred a candidate that said he won.
Rob Gleason, a formerchairman of the state Republican Party who lives in central Pennsylvania, rejected the idea that Democrats had made inroads with white working-class voters. Mr. Fetterman succeeded in painting Dr Oz as a rich out-of-stater with multiple houses because of the class war.
“I’m still mystified how he could do so well because he didn’t release any of his medical records, he didn’t do good in the debate, he embraced Biden,” Mr. Gleason said of Mr. Fetterman, who is continuing to recover from a severe stroke in May. He wears shorts and a hoodie. I thought this was going to be easy.
When Mr Fetterman launched his campaign for the presidency, he said he would campaign for every country he could, and that the voters who leaned Democratic would turn out for him.
