According to a Rolling Stone report, Donald Trump questioned how Mehmet Oz could be lagging in the polls if he wasn't changing his campaign strategy.
According to two sources who spoke with the publication, Trump has called for a course correction for Oz, who has seen his standing decline among voters in the state.
John Fetterman, the Democratic Senate nominee, now boasts consistent leads in most major polling, after he recently returned to the campaign trail after several months of recovery from a stroke.
Fetterman was active on social media all the time, poking fun at Oz for his ties to New Jersey.
Nicole LaValle, better known as "Snooki", was brought on by the Democratic candidate to appear in a message meant to troll Oz for leaving the Garden State to run for the Senate in Pennsylvania.
According to the report, Trump is not amused by Oz's plight, as he has wondered how the cardiothoracic surgeon and former talk show host could be struggling in the polls.
According to one of the sources who spoke with Rolling Stone, several people have told the former president that the polling numbers are accurate.
The source told the publication that there were major problems with Oz's campaign and that the polls were not rigged.
According to the source, Trump thinks it would be "incredibly embarrassing" for Oz to lose to Fetterman, as the former president has a low opinion of the Democratic nominee.
According to a source, Trump wondered if he should not have endorsed Oz in the first place.
Oz was endorsed by Trump over several other candidates. McGovern lost the GOP primary to Oz by 962 votes out of more than 1.3 million votes cast.
A source told Rolling Stone that the former president used words like "awful" and "lousy" to describe Dr. Oz's campaign against John Fetterman. "Weeks ago, Trump asked me and other people, 'Is he going to lose?'" I think I'm not the only one who will tell him if something big doesn't change.
On Friday, Trump announced that he would travel to Pennsylvania on September 3 to stump for Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor, who is trailing his Democratic opponent.
The Rolling Stone report was called fake news by the Trump spokesman.
The America First agenda has been championed by Dr. Oz and he is trying to get the support of every Pennsylvanian. He said that John Fetterman still advocates for radical policies that are destroying America.
The upcoming retirement of two-term GOP Sen. Pat Toomey is the most promising pickup opportunity for Democrats this year.
Fetterman has spent years developing his own personal brand and campaigning in rural and exurban communities that have moved away from Democrats, despite President Joe Biden's mediocre approval ratings in Pennsylvania.
Sam Nunberg told Rolling Stone that the former president should not have endorsed in the primary.
He said that President Trump should stay neutral in the primary. He endorsed a flawed candidate that the Republicans have nominated.
