Two Days Later, Pennsylvania GOP Senate Race Is Still Too Close To Call — But Trump Wants Oz To Declare Victory

The Republican primary race for Pennsylvania’s open U.S. Senate seat remains too close to call two days after the election. 

With 98% of the expected vote counted, television host Dr. Mehmet Oz has a slight edge over former Bush official David McCormick. The former has 31.2% of the vote, while the latter has 31.1%, per The New York Times. Kathy Barnette — the conservative commentator who experienced a surge in the final days of the race — is effectively out of contention with 24.7%.

Oz performed particularly well in the eastern part of the commonwealth, while McCormick clinched many counties in the western and central portions. The results come despite polls in the days before the primary election that indicated a two-way contest between Oz and Barnette.
