The cover photo now says, \u201cThank you, Pennsylvania\u201d on a solo photo of the candidate, and the website no longer features a pop-up fundraiser window featuring Trump. Oz has also reportedly stopped running the Trump ads on Google and Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Axios noted that Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) used the same tactic during his recent campaign against Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe. Rather than emphasizing Trump\u2019s endorsement, Youngkin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/glenn-youngkin-outlines-his-plan-to-make-virginias-education-system-number-one-in-nation\">focused<\/a> on kitchen table issues such as education and the economy.<\/p>\n<p>The Oz campaign, however, has not ditched all ties to Trump. \u201cThe endorsement is the first endorsement listed on our website and we changed the banner to thank Pennsylvanians after the recount was completed,\u201d Oz spokesperson Brittany Yanick told Axios.<\/p>\n<p>Oz was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pennsylvania-gop-senate-primary-might-be-two-way-contest-between-oz-and-barnette-poll-suggests\">most polarizing candidate<\/a> among Republicans casting their ballots in the primary race. Although he led all other contenders, 48% of voters reported a \u201csomewhat or strongly unfavorable opinion\u201d of the candidate in a <a href=\"https:\/\/emersonpolling.reportablenews.com\/pr\/pennsylvania-2022-poll-oz-leads-as-barnette-surges-mccormick-stays-in-contention-in-final-stage-of-gop-senate-race\">poll<\/a> from Emerson College. Republicans had a 32% unfavorable view of McCormick and a 28% unfavorable view of conservative commentator Kathy Barnette, who finished third in the election.<\/p>\n<p>A USA TODAY Network and Suffolk University <a href=\"https:\/\/www.suffolk.edu\/news-features\/news\/2022\/06\/15\/14\/25\/democrat-fetterman-leading-gop-opponent-mehmet-oz-in-key-senate-race\">poll<\/a> showed Pennsylvania voters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/early-midterm-poll-has-dire-news-for-pennsylvania-republicans\">favoring<\/a> Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman over Oz by 46% to 37%. Fetterman, the state\u2019s lieutenant governor, overwhelmingly defeated Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA) in his party\u2019s race, even though he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/hell-be-fine-pa-democratic-senate-nominee-cleared-by-doctor-to-campaign-after-suffering-a-stroke-days-before-primary\">suffered a stroke<\/a> days before ballots were cast. Pennsylvanians simultaneously disapprove of President Joe Biden by 54% to 39%.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvanians have a more dismal outlook on the economy compared to the 2018 midterms. The portion of voters characterizing economic conditions as \u201cpoor\u201d quadrupled in four years \u2014 from 12% to 45%. Only 1% of voters describe the economy as \u201cexcellent.\u201d Nevertheless, Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro also leads the gubernatorial race against Republican State Sen. Doug Mastriano, with 44% and 40% of the vote, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven with Democratic party registration dwindling in Pennsylvania, both Fetterman and Shapiro are adopting a more populist approach to midterm voters and winning independents,\u201d Suffolk University Political Research Center Director David Paleologos remarked. \u201cVoters say they are unhappy with the economy in Pennsylvania and President Biden\u2019s job approval, yet these particular Democrats are threading the needle thus far.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Mehmet Oz \u2014 the Republican nominee for Pennsylvania\u2019s Senate race \u2014 ditched all branding related to former President Donald Trump, whose endorsement helped catapult him to success in the primary election.
