one of the truch s favorite candidate members. and he said mccormick will put the american agenda first. can you be the american-first candidate without the backing of the guy who created thatwell. almost all of them voted for trump. those folks i am going to play for you now, they voted for trump twice. here s their take on mr. trump s endorsement of oz. what do you think of him? hollywood shmutz. i have to agree. former president trump did endorse dr. oz. what did you make of that endorsement? sour grapes against a good guy. reporter: andrea, on the other side tonight, it s a big night for the democrats. lieutenant governor john fedderman will be on the debate stage for the first time face-to-face with conor lamb, who has been turning up the heat
the other day. talk to us about this divide in the maga world that seems to be deepening. reporter: well, look, the two front-runners on the gop side, mehmet oz, a celebrity doctor, and dave mccormick, former hedge fund manager, they have both been pushing really hard for that coveted trump endorsement. that endorsement went to dr. oz. but last night at the mccormick rally we very much saw a candidate who was shaping himself in the mold of the america first candidate, the trumpian candidate. and the headliner for that event, you mentioned it, trump s former secretary of state mike pompeo. and we got a moment to ask secretary pompeo about his support and about trump s support for oz. take a listen to what he told us. president trump did not endorse mr. mccormick. do you think that was a mistake? dave mccormick s the right person to be the next senator for pennsylvania. he s a good friend and a great patriot and a hardcore conservative who will put the american agenda first.
