Recounts seldom change election results….
Dr. Mehmet Oz….
Trump choice pulls off a narrow win…..
Businessman David McCormick has conceded to rival Mehmet Oz in the Republican Senate primary in Pennsylvania, capping off a confusing and narrowly divided process.
McCormick said during a media availability on Friday that he had “came so close” on election night and had spent more than two weeks “making sure that every Republican vote was counted in a way that would result in the will of Pennsylvanian voters being fulfilled” after a recount was called with Oz leading by fewer than 1,000 votes.
“But it’s now clear to me, with the recount largely complete, that we have a nominee. And today I called Mehmet Oz to congratulate him on his victory,” he said. “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, behind his nomination for the Senate.”…

The former hedge fund manager instead turned focus to the general election, in which Oz will be facing off against Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), who is currently recovering from a stroke, in one of the most pivotal Senate races this year.
“It is so important that we beat John Fetterman, and it’s so important for the country that we take back the Senate in 2022. So [Oz] has my full support,” he said.

Fetterman said in a statement that, “As my doctor said, I should have taken my health more seriously. The stroke I suffered on May 13 didn’t come out of nowhere. Like so many others, and so many men in particular, I avoided going to the doctor, even though I knew I didn’t feel well. As a result, I almost died. I want to encourage others to not make the same mistake.”
[His cardiologist Ramesh] Chandra said Fetterman is “well compensated and stable” and “if he takes his medications, eats healthy, and exercises, he’ll be fine.”…
