The Senate GOP race in Pennsylvania has become one of the most heated primary races in the country. The Senate seat held by Pat Toomey (R) is not seeking re-election making this an open seat race between Mehmet Oz, also known as celebrity surgeon Dr. Oz, and Hedge Fund CEO David McCormick.

So far, the campaign has focused a lot on Oz’s Turkish American heritage, to the point where he said he would renounce his Turkish citizenship if elected and before he is sworn into the senate. We invited Katie Meyer, politics reporter at WHYY to discuss Pennsylvania politics.
