Mehmet Oz was caught having filmed his new Pennsylvania US Senate campaign ad at his mansion in New Jersey.
The Fetterman campaign pointed out where Oz filmed his ad:

One of the many problems with the Oz campaign is that the candidate doesn’t seem to be putting in much or any effort to act like he is living in Pennsylvania. Oz bought a property in Pennsylvania, so why wasn’t his ad filmed there?
The Keystone State has 67 counties. Oz could have filmed his ad in any one of them. The Oz campaign has been one self-induced injury after another. The Fetterman campaign has a clearly defined brand and strategy that they have been able to implement without a hitch because Oz has not met the bare minimum that voters should expect from their candidates.
It is not too much to ask of a candidate that they live in the state that they are running to represent. Both of the top two Republican candidates for US Senate were carpetbaggers. Oz would not be the nominee without Trump’s endorsement, and he appears to have no interest in doing what is necessary to win over Pennsylvania voters.
