He IS in the lead….
By about 1,000 votes….
There are more than 6,000 more votes to be counted….
And possibly another 860 with no dates that a Federal judges are likely to rule must also be counted…
There is also a recount coming….
If he is the winner, well he is….
If he isn’t?
Gonna be embarrassing, eh?
Acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman this week ordered the recount, which is automatically triggered when a race comes down to a half of a percentage point or less. The runner-up in an election can waive off a recount, but McCormick declined to do so.
Asked about Oz’s claim to the party nomination, a spokesperson for McCormick pointed to a campaign statement earlier this week about the recount.
“We are proud our campaign received nearly 418,000 votes, won 37 of 67 counties, and contributed to a historic turnout with a razor-thin difference between myself and Mehmet Oz,” said McCormick at the time. “This narrow difference triggers an automatic recount, and we look forward to a swift resolution so our party can unite to defeat socialist John Fetterman in the fall.”
A McCormick aide added that “presumptive is right.”
In his video Friday, Oz sought to unite the Republican Party and pivot to the general election. He said he is “going to reach to every corner of this commonwealth” and will “work with anybody who’s got good ideas.”
Oz’s preemptive move comes on the heels of former President Donald Trump’s public statement last week — issued the day after the primary, when the picture was less clear — calling on Oz to go further and unilaterally declare victory….

Two peas in a pod.
Trump endorsed Oz but McCormick openly bragged about his strong support ofTrump.
Who cares who wins?

Anti- Trump people
My Name Is Jack says
I thought the anti Trump Republicans were opposed to Trump?
So you don’t believe that?
McCormick is a thorough Trumpist. So they support him just because Trump didn’t endorse him?That makes sense!
If that is true?Then it indicates that the so called “anti Trump “Republicans believe in nothing either (like the Trumpists)
