I think it's because Oz is a fellow reality TV star and Trump's easily impressed by that...
Not to mention they are both con-men. I guess moving into the political arena is a natural progression for men like this.
if only there were some way for alabama voters to hold their elected officials accountable ...

Ron DeSantis Releases 'Top Gun'-Inspired Ad And The Twitter Mockery Is Top-Notch
The ad ― which is called “Top Gov” — features the Florida governor griping about what he apparently thinks is the most pressing thing for voters: corporate media.
Oz makes a stupid grocery shopping video and gets widely criticized and ridiculed for it. His opponent does as well. Oz campaign responds by criticizing and ridiculing Fetterman for having had a stroke.

“If John Fetterman had ever eaten a vegetable in his life, then maybe he wouldn’t have had a major stroke and wouldn’t be in the position of having to lie about it constantly,” Rachel Tripp, Oz’s senior communications advisor, said in a statement, which was first reported by Insider.
Fetterman responds:
“I had a stroke. I survived it. I’m truly so grateful to still be here today,” he said. “I know politics can be nasty, but even then, I could *never* imagine ridiculing someone for their health challenges.”

So Ron’s election police have arrested people whose voter registration was APPROVED by local Supervisor of Elections offices. They filled out a voter registration application, RECEIVED their voter registration card, and voted!!
Defendants targeted in DeSantis’ voter fraud crackdown were told they could vote
DeSantis’ office has ignored questions about local elections office sending voting cards to ex-felons before their arrests last week.

“Washington received a voter registration form in the mail, filled it out and mailed it back to the Orange County Supervisor of Elections Office,” read an affidavit filed by authorities in Orange County court. “The Orange County Supervisor of Elections mailed him a voter card.”
“Michelle Stribling, a 52-year-old Black woman from Eatonville convicted in 1993 of second degree murder, told investigators during an Aug. 5 interview at her house that she “could not read or write very well,” and did not understand questions related to her status as an ex-felon on registration paperwork. But Orange County election officials mailed her a voter card after she registered, which led her to believe she was able to vote.”
THE STATE DIDN'T DO ITS JOB AND NOW THESE PEOPLE PAY THE PRICE
“Suzy Trutie, the deputy Supervisor of Elections in Miami-Dade County said that when a county gets a registration applications they are forwarded to the state, which uses a series of databases to verify the person’s identity.
“After the verification process has been completed, the State notifies the County that the person’s eligibility has been confirmed,” she said via email. “Finally, the County issues a voter registration card to the elector.”
Alison Novoay, spokesperson for the Palm Beach County Supervisor of elections, said in an email that the state notifies their office when a prospective or registered voter is convicted of a felony or otherwise ineligible. After that, the Supervisor of Elections removes them from their voting lists.”

New Alaska count: Mary Peltola (D) expands lead over Sarah Palin (R) to 16,347 votes. Depending on how many ballots “exhaust,” Palin probably needs 68-70% of Begich second place votes to prevail. It’s going to be close. #AKAL
Peltola again grows her lead, but final outcome in Alaska’s U.S. House race is days away
The Alaska Division of Elections tallied votes on Friday in the state’s August election, but results in the special U.S. House race won’t be final for days.

Why Texans actually pay more in taxes than Californians do
The Lone Star State is touted as "low-tax" because it has no income tax. But recently resurfaced data shows that may only apply if you're a wealthy resident.
Democrat Charlie Crist will pick Karla Hernández-Mats, the head of Miami-Dade County’s largest teachers union, as his running mate as he seeks to unseat Gov. Ron DeSantis.
