US midterms: Can a celebrity doctor deliver for the Republicans?

With just two weeks to go until the 2022 midterm elections, all eyes are on Pennsylvania and the two nominees vying for the Senate seat, Republican celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz and Democrat John Fetterman.

Washington Correspondent Martin Wall speaks to Aideen Finnegan about the candidates and what is at stake when voters cast their ballots.
