Mehmet Oz admits he would have approved certifying Joe Biden as president had he been in office. Oz doesn't believe that the 2020 election was stolen despite being pushed to run by the former president. He wouldn't have objected to the congressional process that made Biden president if he'd been in office when the election was certified, according to the former TV Doc. I wouldn't object to it. Oz said that he would have approved it by the time the reports were sent to the Senate. NBC: If you had been in the Senate on 1/6, would you have objected to the certification of the 2020 election? Oz: I would not have objected to it. By the time the delegates & those reports were sent to the U.S. Senate, our job was to approve it, which is what I would have done. pic.twitter.com/luKVULu312

Oz said he wouldn't have voted to impeach Trump if he'd been in office for the second impeachment trial.
I wouldn't have voted for the impeachment of the President. According to Oz, the President was leaving office by that time.
Although some voters might give Oz credit for candor, his comments could hurt him with Trump, whose litmus test is whether they back him as the 2020 winner.
According to the news website, Oz was unfamiliar with the process of impeachment. If Oz had been a senator at the time of the certification, he would have only voted if he wanted to acquit Trump or if he wanted to hear witnesses.
The admission by Dr. Oz could cause him problems with both Trump and his followers, since the former president was campaigning for him in Pennsylvania.
As of Tuesday afternoon, Trump didn't comment on Oz's admission.
