David McCormick conceded the race to Trump-endorsed television personality Dr. Mehmet Oz, handing him the GOP nomination for Pennsylvania Senate race.
David McCormick has conceded to Dr. Mehmet Oz, handing the Trump-endorsed television personality the GOP nomination in the Pennsylvania Senate race. A lengthy recount process delayed the results of the tight primary contest, and the final results had yet to be announced when McCormick shared his decision Friday.
“But it’s not clear to me. With the recount largely complete, I bet we have a nominee. And today, I called Mehmet Oz to congratulate him on his victory,” he added. “And I told him what I always said to you: that I will do my part to try to unite Republicans and Pennsylvanians behind his candidacy [and] behind his nomination for the Senate.”The original totals showed Oz, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, leading McCormick by less than 1,000 votes out of more than 1.
Trump last year originally endorsed Sean Parnell for the race, but he suspended his campaign after his estranged wife accused him of domestic abuse and a judge awarded her sole legal and primary physical custody of their children. Trump later backed Oz over McCormick when polls indicated it was a two-way race between the two men, arguing McCormick had business interests in China, among other charges.
The race is considered to be a toss-up, and Democrats are trying to flip the seat blue. The race could determine which party controls the evenly divided Senate.
