he took the lead for the first time tonight around a half hour ago. okay. and the big dynamic here is kathy barnette had been eating into what might have been a clear win for him. david mccormick coming up the middle as the more moderate, traditional republican candidate, ie not election denying. look, this thing is still tight. it s a o1.1 race. bucks county are coming in with a slight edge to oz right now. but this thing is well within recount territory. this isn t going away. what do row think is happening that there is a slight inch for him? i think trump s endorsement is making a difference. oz doing really well in coal country. something to really pay attention to. mccormick s strength is the suburbs in pittsburgh, where he grew up. but right now you see oz just edging ahead. but this isn t going to be over. this is going to be days. this is in recount territory. every ballot counts right now. 851. did you say days? possibly. we thought hours, maybe. hou
