Why is New Jersey’s Dr. Oz running for senate in Pennsylvania? (Opinion)

The reply is straightforward, it is alternative.

The Kennedys and Hillary Clinton did it years in the past. In the event you can set up residency in a state and register to vote there a 12 months forward of the election, you are good to go.

Dr. Mamet Oz, a well-known coronary heart surgeon, writer and TV persona, has lived in New Jersey for over three many years. He has a ravishing mansion overlooking the Hudson and the New York Metropolis skyline in Cliffside Park.

Not many individuals within the public knew or cared about his political affiliation till now, now that he is a concealed-weapon-card-carrying self-proclaimed conservative working for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. He noticed a chance, which as a Republican he would by no means have in New Jersey, and he moved to Pennsylvania.

His spouse’s mother and father have a house in Montgomery County, PA, and that is the place he is listed on his driver’s license and his voter registration. In the event you dwell in South Jersey or Northwestern Jersey you’ve got little doubt seen the TV commercials for his marketing campaign in native media. You have additionally seen assault advertisements in opposition to his candidacy and his claims of being a real conservative.

Do not assume that the native, typical left-wing media hasn’t observed both. The Philadelphia Inquirer put out a chunk just a few months again reminding Philadelphia and Pennsylvania voters that he nonetheless hangs out at his New Jersey mansion as typically as he can.

Dr. Oz will remind you that within the Eighties he graduated from enterprise and medical faculty from the College of Pennsylvania.

He is at present within the lead within the polls for the Pennsylvania Republican Major arising in just a few weeks on Might 17. Dr. Oz has obtained the endorsement of former President Donald Trump and has a bonus in identify recognition over the opposite 4 candidates.
