Trump-endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz has built a small but increasing lead over former Bush official and hedge fund manager David McCormick in Pennsylvania’s GOP Senate primary. The race is too close to call as of early Wednesday morning.
McCormick led for much of the night before a late surge in Bucks County put Dr. Oz in the lead just before midnight on Tuesday. As of 2 am Wednesday, Oz led McCormick by 2,762 votes with 96% reporting, according to the Associated Press.
If Oz is able to secure a lead in Delaware County, where he currently trails McCormick by a couple hundred votes, his victory will become increasingly likely.
Outstanding mail-in ballots are expected to favor McCormick, however, who has performed well in Pennsylvania’s bluer counties. A recount is also very much in play, which will be triggered if the winning candidate’s margin is lower than 0.5%.
Beyond Oz and McCormick, the lead story down the stretch of Pennsylvania’s GOP Senate primary was a late surge from Kathy Barnette. After polling around 9% until late April, Barnette found herself in a statistical tie with the two front-runners according to numerous respectable pollsters.
While Barnette fell short of Oz and McCormick, who have each garnered a little over 30% of the vote, the U.S. Army veteran and author has received a little over 23% of the vote.
Barnette’s candidacy sharply divided the traditional Trump base, many of whom have taken issue with numerous leftist positions advanced by Dr. Oz in the past. The successful TV doctor has expressed support for transgenderism, abortion and has endorsed the notion of “systemic racism” in the past.
He has since abandoned these views and has not advocated for them on the campaign trail, though Barnette’s showing illustrates how skeptical the base truly was.David McCormick is far from a true “America […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
