  • Story Text: Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz said he was confident of an election victory on Tuesday (November 8) in one of the most closely-watched races of the campaign season.
    The 62-year-old celebrity doctor backed by President Donald Trump is up against the Democratic nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, the state's current lieutenant governor.
    The Fetterman-Oz Senate race is one of three critical contests, along with Georgia and Nevada, that will determine whether Democrats hold onto their razor-thin majority in the Senate and, with it, the power to confirm current President Joe Biden's nominees to posts ranging from his Cabinet to the Supreme Court.
    Nonpartisan election forecasters and polls show Republicans are heavy favorites to win control of the House of Representatives, with the Senate a toss-up. Control of even one of those chambers would give Republicans the power to block Biden's legislative agenda and launch potentially damaging investigations.
