Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is seeking the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania's Senate race, said Wednesday that he would renounce his Turkish citizenship if elected.
the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania's Senate race, said Wednesday that he would renounce his Turkish citizenship if elected. David McCormick, one of his main GOP rivals, has been pressing Oz on the issue.
Before Oz issued his statement, McCormick's campaign held a press call with Alaska Republican Senator Dan Sullivan, who suggested Oz may not have full access to intelligence if he did not renounce his Turkish citizenship. When pressed why Turkish citizenship would be an issue, given that the country is a NATO ally, Sullivan said the country isn't part of a group of nations that the U.S. shares more closely held intelligence with. There is no law that says members of Congress cannot be dual citizens. "It is a sign of McCormick's desperate campaign that he has resorted to this disgraceful tactic," he said.
