Washington: Dr. Oz was competing with the Democrat candidate John Fetterman, who got 26,37,598 votes, while Dr. Oz got 24,60,602 votes.
Among those who endorsed Dr. Mehmet was former US President Donald Trump, who in 2017 imposed a travel ban on citizens of Muslim-majority countries.
Had Dr. Oz succeeded, he would have become the first Muslim American senator to become a member of the US Senate. Dr. Oz was very angry with the policies of the former president and instead of staying away from Trump, Dr. Oz made a necklace for the former president.
