Is Dr. Oz gaining momentum?

There's little doubt that Dr. Mehmet Oz is gaining momentum at just the right time in his campaign to replace Pat Toomey as Pennsylvania's junior senator. This afternoon, I learned that the former Deputy Mayor of Philadelphia, Tom Knox, endorsed Dr. Oz. Knox "explained in his endorsement of Oz over his Democrat opponent" by saying "I am a lifelong Democrat. I have met with John Fetterman, and I personally like him. But I am sad to say, as a resident of Philadelphia, that our city has become increasingly dangerous, and John Fetterman's policies on crime will make things much worse."

"I love Philadelphia, and I am saddened by what is happening to it," Knox said before calling on his fellow PA Democrats to put public safety over their political party membership. Knox continued, saying "I am encouraging Democrats who share my concerns with Fetterman's long-standing policies to put party affiliation aside and support Dr. Oz for U.S. Senate. Dr. Oz is smart, hardworking and a man of integrity who will work tirelessly to make our streets and city safe once again."

Dr. Oz replied to Knox's endorsement, saying that:

safer streets shouldn't be a Democrat or Republican priority - it should be a priority for us all" while calling for Pennsylvanians "to come together now more than ever, regardless of party, as we face one of the highest homicide rates ever recorded in Philadelphia and our commonwealth suffers from one of the largest increases in violent crime rates and the fourth highest number of deaths from fentanyl in the country."

We simply cannot allow John Fetterman to continue putting criminals over the innocent by allowing violent offenders, even murderers, to roam our streets and dangerous drugs to poison our youth. His policies are deadly, dangerous, and wrong for Pennsylvania."

Here's another endorsement that Dr. Oz is proud to receive:

Big Mo is on Dr. Oz's side right now.
