Where in the world is Dr. Oz?

PHILADELPHIA — Mehmet Oz is trailing in polls. A key Republican has yet to endorse him since the celebrity doctor won the GOP nomination for Pennsylvania Senate more than a month ago. And Oz has gone dark on the airwaves since May 21 — even as his Democratic rival John Fetterman burnishes his brand on TV as a political outsider, and paints Oz as a carpetbagger from New Jersey.
This is not the general election kickoff in a pivotal Senate race that Republicans were hoping for.
The shaky start to Oz’s general election campaign, coming off a hard-fought primary that took a recount to resolve, is prompting finger-pointing in Pennsylvania’s GOP circles. Some Republicans are arguing that Oz should do more to unite the party, reach deeper into his pockets to fund his campaign, and attack Fetterman more aggressively.
The Democratic hopeful has been setting the pace of the campaign despite not setting foot on the trail since he suffered a stroke in mid-May.

Oz and his wife just recently purchased property in eastern Pennsylvania. Yes he misspelled "Huntingdon" on the press release. I've read that it's not a residence, but a business investment - like a strip mall with office buildings including his campaign headquarters.
But this guy owns mansions in New Jersey, Florida (plus a FL cattle ranch), New Hampshire, New York City and TWO in Turkey. The New Jersey and the Palm Beach mansions are his 2 primary residences. His wife's family are from Pennsylvania, and he fraudulently gave the in-law's address as "proof" of PA residence.
I'm sure a few Repukes are going to vote for him, because they can never bring themselves to vote for a Democrat. However, there will be enough independents who will vote for Fetterman, along with our regular Dem voters. It's surely going to be enough to send Big John Fetterman to the Senate next November.
