Gov. John Fetterman. Fetterman holds a sizeable lead in the polls, and according to a recent AARP survey, 63% of Pennsylvanian voters view Oz unfavorably. He is not a crowd favorite, with the Trump branding proving to be a disadvantage than a boon. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostAnother factor that works against his favor is that most citizens do not see him as a Pennsylvanian resident. Though he completed his medical education from the University of Pennsylvania, he spends most time at his New Jersey home and has properties in Turkey and Florida.This line of attack is the go-to among Fetterman supporters, and a recent Tweet by Oz has garnered a lot of disapproval from the Twitterati.Dr. Mehmet Oz@DrOzIf we lose Pennsylvania, we lose America.5361617If we lose Pennsylvania, we lose America.People did not hesitate to give Dr. Oz a piece of their minds.Ellen Sorce@ejls1@DrOz No, you have that backwards.

He went on to say,&quot;Pennsylvania voters know they can’t trust him.”Possibility of a rift between Dr. Oz and Donald Trump?Oz reportedly backs away from Trump support post-primary victory (image via Reuters)Once considered close allies, Oz seems to be distancing himself from Donald Trump ever since he won the primary. Oz refrained from mentioning the former President on social media or during public appearances.Reports claim that he even removed his photos with Trump from his campaign's website and social media banners. Mike Mikus, a Democratic strategist, tried to analyze this sudden shift in loyalty,“I understand why Oz is doing it, but you can’t put the genie back in the bottle––he’s known as Trump’s candidate even among casual voters.But he’s playing with fire. To say that Donald Trump demands absolute loyalty is an understatement, and this actually has the potential to turn Trump against him.”Former Trump administration adviser Seb Gorka has taken cognizance of the issue and accused Oz of pulling &quot;a slimy move after Trump helped him.&quot;
