Former President Trump traveled to Pennsylvania on Friday to rally for Republican Senate nominee Mehmet Oz, boosting the famous doctor less than two weeks before the Republican primary.
Speaking in Greenberg, Pennsylvania, Trump likened Oz to himself, telling the crowd, “Dr. Oz has had an extremely successful career in television and is now running to save our country, just like me. ”
“From the radical left, lunatics and maniacs, Dr. Oz is a man who truly believes in Make America Great Again or the MAGA movement,” he added.
The former president used the seat to highlight his success in Tuesday’s Republican primary, in which all 22 of his approved candidates in Ohio and Indiana won their respective primary races.
He drew attention to venture capitalist JD Vance, who won the Republican Senate primary in Ohio earlier this week and also went out to gather for Oz on Friday.
“We supported JD and he was like a rocket ship,” Trump said, referring to the Senate candidate’s trajectory following the former president’s approval. “He will be around for a long, long time politically, in my opinion, very smart. And he is the one who can win, and he will win. He will win in Ohio. JD Vance, good man. Good man. He really stepped forward. “
Trump has also targeted former hedge fund chief executive Dave McCormick, Oz’s main rival in the Senate race, saying he is similar to Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), Who is stepping down from the upper house after his current term. and was one of seven Republican senators who voted to condemn Trump last year.
“So, I don’t know David well and he may be a nice person, but he’s not a MAGA. He is not a MAGA. “He’s more Tumi than MAGA,” Trump said.
Trump also claims that McCormick sought the former president’s approval so badly that he hired people with close ties to Trump.
“Honestly, David is another one and he will say that, he is fighting hard for it. He wanted it. He hired almost everyone who worked everywhere. “If anyone was about 200 miles from me, they would hire them,” Trump said. “But he really wanted my approval very much, but I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t do it. “
The former president also hit actor Alec Baldwin over the shooting incident on the set of Rust, which eventually left the cinema dead and the film’s director injured.

“Hey, by the way, Alec Baldwin, did he pull the trigger?” No, I think he’s a sick man. I mean, I’ve watched him, he’s a psychopath. Something happened. It’s a strange deal, “he said.
Friday’s rally came amid a briefing by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo earlier in the day as he called McCormick a “patriot”, claiming that Oz had ties to the Turkish government.
The primary election in the Senate of Republicans in Pennsylvania is on May 17.
