Mehmet Oz, who is seeking to replace retiring Sen. Pat Toomey, will run as a Republican. Oz announced his candidacy on his website Tuesday afternoon, writing “today, America’s heartbeat is in a code red in need of a defibrillator to shock it back to life… I’m running for U.S. Senate to reignite our divine spark, bravely fight for freedom, and will tell it like it is.” No word yet on how Oz's candidacy will affect The Dr. Oz Show.
