Oprah Winfrey says Dr. Mehmet Oz's GOP Senate run in Pennsylvania is an example of "one of the great things about our democracy."

"Dr. Oz" was a recurring guest on Winfrey's famous daytime TV talk show and announced his candidacy to fill the seat of retiring Sen. Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican, in November.

"We have not managed our crises as effectively as past generations. During the pandemic, I learned that when you mix politics and medicine, you get politics instead of solutions. That's why I am running for the U.S. Senate: to help fix the problems and to help us heal," Oz said.

Winfrey said it's up to the voters of Pennsylvania to decide if Oz is fit to represent them, according to a report.

"One of the great things about our democracy is that every citizen can decide to run for public office. Mehmet Oz has made that decision," Winfrey said through a spokesperson.

"And now it's up to the residents of Pennsylvania to decide who will represent them."
