Mehmet Oz On The Record
- “Complete and Total endorsement” by Donald J. Trump.
- In 2007, it was reported that Oz had been active in his local chapter of the Republican Party of New Jersey for several years, and had donated to Republicans John McCain and Bill Frist. He supported the re-election campaign of President George W. Bush in 2004.
- In 2022, Oz announced that he supported overturning the 1973 Supreme Court Roe v. Wade.
Prior to 2019, Oz had supported abortion rights.
- Oz initially praised Anthony Fauci as a "pro" and lauded his role in combating the pandemic in 2020 and 2021.
Upon running for the Senate, however, Oz changed his tone on Fauci and referred to him as a "tyrant".
- In 2017, Oz co-authored an article that highlighted the threats of climate change including extreme heat, wildfires and floods.
When running for the Senate, he downplayed the risk that carbon dioxide poses when contributing to the role of the greenhouse effect in contributing to climate change.
- Since declaring his candidacy, Oz has taken a "tough on China" stance.
In 2013, Oz celebrated a partnership with Neusoft's health technology subsidiary Neusoft Xikang, serving as their chief health officer in the process.
- In 2022, Oz said that Israel is "an ally and a vibrant democracy in the world's most troubled region" and that he opposes the BDS Movement, supports keeping the US Embassy in Jerusalem and supports continued military aid to Israel. Oz has long been a supporter of Israel and visited the country in 2013.
When speaking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in an interview with The Forward, Oz said "It's not black and white".
- Oz condemned the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, calling it "horrible" and "preventable".
- In 2022, Oz said that he supports the process of hydraulic fracturing and believes that natural gas can help the United States become energy independent and reduce gasoline prices. In addition, he supports reducing environmental regulations on the fracking industry.
In 2014, Oz had called for more regulations on the fracking industry, including a halt on fracking until the environmental impact had been researched more, because of the possible connection between fracking and the pollution of the air and waterways.
- Oz has said that he is a gun owner and that he supports the constitutional right to bear arms under the Second Amendment. At a campaign event in February 2022, Oz said that he supports Red Flag-style Laws for those expressing dangerous behavior, but opposes a national red flag law registry.
In 2017, Oz expressed support for waiting periods before someone can acquire a gun and in 2019, he co-wrote a column that called for the United States to institute a ban on assault rifles.
- In 2022, Oz said that he would vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act if he were elected to the Senate, and backed Medicare Advantage Plus.
In 2009, Oz said "It should be mandatory that everybody in America have healthcare coverage. If you can't afford it, we have to give it to you..."
In 2010, Oz supported a government backed healthcare system and was featured in an advertisement that promoted The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Oz has said that the healthcare systems that he thinks work the best are Germany and Switzerland, which are both universal healthcare systems.
- While running for the Senate in 2022, Oz said he opposes the legalization of recreational cannabis, but was not against it for medical purposes. In 2014, Oz said on Larry King Live "marijuana is hugely beneficial when used correctly for medicinal purposes" and in 2017 criticized the federal government for classifying marijuana as a Schedule I drug, which prevents more scientific research on marijuana.
- As of 2022, Oz identifies as "secular Muslim" and, according to the Associated Press, "has said that the spiritual side of Islam resonates with him more than the religious law side of it".
Oz has expressed to CBN News his opposition to Sharia law in the US. Noting that his wife and children are Christians, Oz told CBN that he believes that the U.S. was founded on Judeo-Christian values.
