great! another celebrity running for office.
Dr Mehmet Oz, known to viewers of his show simply as Dr Oz, may be pursuing a much different title in the near future.
The celebrity TV doctor and Columbia University professor is considering launching a bid for the open US Senate seat in Pennsylvania, the right-leaning Washington Free Beacon reported on Tuesday.
The seat is currently held by Sen Pat Toomey, who announced his plans to retire from the Senate last year. The battle over control of the seat is likely to be one of the most-watched Senate battles in the nation as control of the upper chamber will likely come down to just a few seats.
According to the Free Beacon, Dr Oz has begun hiring a staff and reaching out to potential allies, according to influential Republicans familiar with his plans.
