donald trump is gonna be campaigning with mehmet oz. western pennsylvania general. when you get outside of the county, republican territory. obviously trying to drive up republican support there, but the risk, if your mehmet oz of appearing with donald trump, of making him such a big part of your closing message in pennsylvania is that trump lost pennsylvania, and one of the reasons that trump lost pennsylvania because of the ground he lost in the suburb. particular the suburbs right outside of pennsylvania. so for suburban counties there, bucks, chester montgomery delaware. if you look at the margin that he lost pennsylvania by in 2020, it will be accounted for almost entirely by the ground that he lost in those four suburban counties, so the risk for medivac oz, you can bring down -- you try to fire of the republican base, are you simultaneously turning off voters, i know it's across the state, but there are certainly gonna hear about it. are you turning off the voters in the suburbs that you need? by the way, at the end of the night, joe biden, barack obama, char

the following, always been very influential, whether it's marketing a product or back in the day mehmet oz, a person. so how influential might she be on this campaign stage? how much does this potentially help fetterman in what has become a neck-and-neck race with oz? >> sure. again, every good word is going to help. when that oprah endorsement came down the other evening, the fetterman campaign blasted it out immediately to journalists, pulling out all the stops, putting it on social right away. i mean, that's something that hits mehmet oz where he lives. he owes his television existence to oprah winfrey. so the fetterman people are seeing that as a big get. again, if this is something that moves, you know, a couple of thousand voters, half a percentage point, every little bit helps. >> she was also encouraging the power of that early vote, you know, if i lived in pennsylvania i would have already voted, by the way, when she threw her support to fetterman. a lot is being made about the enthusiasm of this race. we have already seen more than 1 million early votes cast in pennsylvania. but

both mehmet oz and john fetterman are spending the final hours getting out their closing messages. what's the latest? >> reporter: absolutely, wolf. three hours from now mehmet oz will be here with supporters for his final rally of campaigning, his final moment to campaign, his final rally with supporters before election day. for both candidates in what has now become the most expensive senate race in the country, their closing arguments have been consistent in their messaging for weeks. for john fetterman, he says to voters that he has been and is here to fight for pennsylvania voters as he has been for years, accusing mehmet oz of essentially being a snake oil salesman saying that mehmet oz is only here to use pennsylvanians for his personal game. mehmet oz, his closing message is he is the candidate of change in this race, speaking to the frustration that voters have with regard to inflation, as well as crime, and he has been accusing john fetterman of being too radical and too extreme, words he uses over and over again. oz saying that he rejects extremism on both sides. we'll b

john fetterman, the democrat going up against mehmet oz, doctor oz. the republican now 30 per 7% of the vote has been counted and fetterman has actually extended his lead. since we last checked in on this a few minutes ago about a 5 percentage point lead for fetterman. pennsylvania, though, as wacky rules where they only start counting ballots the morning of election day. so it could be a long time until we know who actually wins that key senate seat. here's georgia, another race that people all across the been closely watching. and this is just flips now. 67 1% of the vote has been counted. and the democrat incumbent raphael warnock, had been leading. but herschel walker, the republican, the former nfl star, has now taken the lead. it's still close and anything could happen. certainly when you still have a lot of the vote that has yet to come in. but this is a key flip in one of the states that the whole country has their eyes on. when we talk about the balance of power, republicans needing just one senate seat to take control of the senate. so we'll

mehmet oz. and they're looking at the trump voters who have been less enthusiastic about supporting him according to the latest polls. today former president trump will be hosting a rally for oz in an attempt to boost him in what is a tossup race against lt. governor john fetterman. it was trump's endorsement that led to dr. oz narrowly winning here by less than a thousand votes. and he'll appear with gubernatorial doug mastriano, who is seen by too extreme by voters and losing by double digit races and he could, but courting moderate. >> we've got to unite, i'm a heart surgeon not a politician. in order for us the biggest problems we've got in my case which is a broken heart. i've got to bring us together, not divided. right now in america we need a sense of balance in washington. washington is getting it wrong with all of these radical ideas. >> dr. oz is now attacking president biden after he pledged to shut down america's coal plants in a speech yesterday. oz tweeting this morning, president

pennsylvania, doctor mehmet oz who lost tojohn fetterman there.it now comes down, as far as the senate is concerned, as you mentioned, to three key swing states, nevada, arizona and georgia. that means we won't know the makeup of the senate for months. the publicans are set to pick up seats in the house of representatives, but the so—called red wives the microwave just didn't happen —— republicans are set. microwave just didn't happen -- republicans are set.— republicans are set. some have described as _ republicans are set. some have described as a _ republicans are set. some have described as a red _ republicans are set. some have described as a red ripple. - republicans are set. some have described as a red ripple. you . described as a red ripple. you referred to this early on that this appears to be a backlash from people who did not want to see trump endorsed candidates come to power? is that the sentiment you're seeing on the ground? i is that the sentiment you're seeing on the ground?— on the ground? i think a lot of this comes into — on th

an interesting personal dynamic, dr mehmet oz the slick celebrity tv doctor.n the candidate who suffered a health setback earlier this year, suffering a stroke. his struggle articulating on the campaign trail may raise questions, some suggest, in some voters are part of the mind is, nonetheless the issues are front and centre. the economy being key among them of course, but also some of those off—line issues. abortion, key differences between the candidates on back. and the question of course of election denialism. dr mehmet oz raising questions about the 2020 election, john fetterman suggesting that conspiracy is reason enough for his supporters to turn out, with democracy itself on the ballot. what happened here in the next few days, like a number of other races across america, could determine the make—up of the senate and whether or not joe biden becomes a lame—duck president, and how much he can get done for the remainder of his term. i'm joined now by our correspondent in washington nomia iqbal. people are saying these elections are more important than in

and this is a loss, which i think it's gonna reverberate across the united states -- >> mehmet oz wasd by donald trump. >> in my good friend dave mccord fix i would've supported dr. oz's opponents race who would've been a far stronger candidate in this race, probably up there giving a speech tonight. instead of john fetterman. a lot of people are gonna ask questions about, can you lay -- this loss at the feet of the former president? people gonna ask that tomorrow in the day after, and the day after in pennsylvania. >> you lost a governor, a governor's mansion in pence senate race in pennsylvania tonight. i know republicans across the commonwealth are pretty upset right now. >> this is a bad night for him. for donald trump. >> before we bury donald trump, i think we should praise john fetterman. because it is very hard to do what he did. in that this guy was almost, he was a death's door. he had a serious stroke. he might have been here tonight alive at all, and he decided to get in there and to fight for it. and i thought it was a terrible idea for him to do that today. but that's th

mehmet oz has been closing, closing, closing. this will be a very interesting race insofar as understanding whether or not republicans can overcome that because of joe biden's unpopularity. >> it's been one of the most dramatic when you think you have a former talk show host and then you have john fetterman who has had health issues. it's been dramatic for voters. >> very dramatic. neither of these candidates are perfect in the mind of voters. >> thank you, data inton. we appreciate that. caitlyn? >> cnn this morning's election day coverage is going to continue. our reporters standing by in wisconsin and arizona. we also have an entire roster of analysts to break down the high stakes races for you. >>> and from abortion rights to the legalization of marijuana to minimum wage. ahead, the amendments that are on the ballot across the country today. ♪ voltaren. the joy of movement. ♪ i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhhhh... here, i'll take that.

mehmet oz is leading john fetterman for the first time. the media is going crazy with a shameless campaign in my view to boost fetterman. the latest is to attack dr. oz as a doctor. >> he's a quack doctor that made his riches that way. >> it's unbecoming of a doctor. >> let's put doctor in quotes for dr. oz. >> oz is very slick. don't vote for me for politics. brian: or anything. the doctor running for pennsylvania senator is with us now. people could insult you or not vote for you. but could you let everybody know your medical credentials? >> i was well trained. i invented life-saving devices to fix heart valves. i'm a professor at a major university. i have done all the things you want to do in medicine. i love medicine, it's my calling. but i understand there are bigger challenges facing our country. just like i did in my practice to empower my patients, i want to do the same for voters. and i'm listening to understand the challenges. the good news is people are optimistic. they know we can fix the problems. the bad news is we have senio

and finally in pennsylvania where john fetterman is taking on mehmet oz. we have two polls, one that shows fetterman up by six and the other has it tied. >> in arizona democrats have been pretty confident on mark kelly. that seems very, very close. where are you watching? >> look, you know, there's a certain gravity to all of this that's determined by the environment and you know, the inflation and the economy and general sense about the direction of the country are things that you would look at when you're evaluating these races, and i think that gravity has taken hold. these races have tightened. and in arizona there's a concern the governor's race could end up because there's enthusiasm on the republican side about kari lake could end up dragging blake masters. and most people i talked to think kelly will hang on, but nobody really knows how this is going to go. >> both parties making closing arguments on the economy. where did democrats want the focus to be and where do republicans look? >> democrats very clearly want to be talking about things other t
