Oprah Winfrey's relationship with Mehmet Oz goes back years. She played a fundamental role in his rise into a national celebrity. And she just endorsed his opponent in Pennsylvania's Senate race.
, her status as an ultra-celebrity could help nudge things in Fetterman’s favor. Oprah is a first-name-only celebrity who can make news with a snap of her fingers and can help highlight political races to big audiences who may be less interested politics and current events.Winfrey's intervention in the 2008 presidential primaries resulted in an additional 1 million votes for then-Sen. Barack Obama.
. And of course the soapy drama of her breaking with Oz in such a consequential way has the capacity to make the news travel further.Immediately after her statement of support, Fetterman capitalized on it with a mock"Oprah's Book Club" seal of approval on his Twitter profile. Why Winfrey took so long to intervene is unclear. Had she pushed aggressively for Fetterman earlier, it's possible she could've made more of a splash. Winfrey, always a careful operator, could've been hesitant to enter the fray when Fetterman was favored to win — but was moved to do so after his lead in the pollsThis way, if Fetterman loses — in a race that could tip the Senate in favor of Republican control — Winfrey can at least try to claim that her hands are clean.
