President Joe Biden mocked the Pennsylvania Republican Senate, hopeful, Dr. Mehmet Oz, because he went to high school in Delaware – the state he represented in the US Senate for 36 years.
“Delaware was smart enough to send him to New Jersey,” Biden said Thursday night during a closed-door fundraising drive for Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman in Philadelphia.
The line was delivered as Fetterman and Oz engage in a thrilling Keystone State race that could determine the fate of the majority of Democrats in the Senate.
Fetterman spent much of the campaign portraying Oz as an out-of-touch carpet dredger from nearby New Jersey.
The longtime TV personality lived in Jersey for the years his program was on the air, establishing a residency in Pennsylvania only prior to his Senate career.

While Oz insisted that Fetterman may not be up to the challenge after he suffered a stroke in May, the Democrat used social media and viral marketing tactics to troll Oz about his New Jersey roots.
Over the summer, Fetterman used the Cameo rent-a-celebrity service to have the Jersey Shore’s Snooki tell Oz that Jersey wouldn’t “forget” him.
“And don’t worry, you’ll be back in New Jersey soon. This is only temporary,” said the reality star.
The Fetterman campaign also flew a banner over New Jersey’s beaches, welcoming Oz “home.”

John Fetterman had also mocked Oz for taking a trip to South Philly in July for Pat’s and Geno’s cheesesteaks. “Ah yes, the trip to Pats + Geno’s – a rite of passage for every tourist,” Fetterman tweeted at the time

But Fetterman, his wife Gisele and the president were doing their own food politics Thursday afternoon, stopping at a Primanti Brothers in Moon Township on the way back to the Pittsburgh airport.
A Western Pennsylvania staple, the sandwich chain is known for adding a layer of French fries and coleslaw between the giant slices of bread.
