National Democrats are taking a big swing at Mehmet Oz during the World Series. A top Democratic political group will run an ad during Game 1 highlighting Oz’s comments on abortion rights in a closely watched U.S. Senate debate Tuesday.
The spot is expected to cost about $100,000 for a single airing on Philly’s Fox29, a huge sum even in a race that has, when Oz, the GOP nominee for Senate, explained his view that abortion laws should be set by individual states.Mehmet Oz said local politicians should have a say in abortion. Democrats see an opportunity.
“I want women, doctors, local political leaders letting the democracy that’s always allowed our nation to thrive to put the best ideas forward so states can decide for themselves,” Oz said. Democrats have pounced on the phrase involving “local political leaders,” and pointed out that in Pennsylvania, that could be State Sen. Doug Mastriano, a“Oz thinks abortion decisions belong to politicians, like Doug Mastriano, who could ban abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest,”, from Senate Majority PAC, a Super PAC affiliated with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer .
It replays a brief snippet of Oz saying “local political leaders,” without the rest of his response. It’s unclear if the ad will continue airing after Game 1, though.
