Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania expressed openness to confirm his erstwhile Republican opponent Dr Mehmet Oz, whom President-elect Donald Trump nominated to lead the agency that runs Medicare and Medicaid.
Fetterman beat Oz in an intensely personal race for Senate in 2022. During the election, Fetterman ribbed Oz for not living in Pennsylvania but rather neighboring New Jersey. Fetterman, who had suffered a stroke during the campaign, received intense criticism for using closed captioning.
