A new poll found that the majority of Pennsylvania voters said Oz's New Jersey residence made them less likely to vote for him.
Last week, it appeared those poll numbers were changing McConnell's forecast for his party. While the top Republican had once been"optimistic" about the GOP's chances of controlling both chambers of Congress following a red wave during the midterms, he's changed his tune, predicting"a very, very close Senate."
Above, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mehmet Oz greets supporters after the primary race resulted in an automatic recount due to close results on May 17 in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Oz has insisted that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is not concerned about his Senate race, despite polling numbers that show the GOP candidate trailing in Pennsylvania.
Oz, on the other hand, has maintained that he is relatable among Pennsylvanians, which he said was McConnell's real concern over GOP Senate candidates. "If you actually listen carefully, what he was saying, he was highlighting that the quality of the candidates does matter a lot in a statewide race—it always matters—but in a statewide race, where you've got to speak to a lot of different constituents," Oz said."You want to make sure you're out there, and I'm tireless."
