ceo dave mccormick are neck and neck. unfortunately we won t have resolution tonight. but we can see the path ahead, we can see victory ahead, and it is because of you. so thank you, pennsylvania. when all the votes are tallied, i m confident that we will win. and i want to thank other individuals who are unbelievably close friends, made a big difference in my life, always there at every moment. let s start with 45, president trump. president trump after he endorsed me continued to lean into this race in pennsylvania. it is a key contest not just for the candidates but also for former president trump. as you heard there from dr. oz, trump pushing to consolidate his control of the republican party with his endorsement of dr. oz only to see some of that influence syphoned away by kathy barnette. she experienced a last minute surge in the polls drawing support from some of those suspicious of oz s ideological shifts. and on the democratic side on the pennsylvania senate ra
state. whoever does win that race will take on john fetterman in november. he easily won the democratic senate primary last night, though may be the first candidate to do so from a hospital bed. he underwent surgery for defibrillator hours before polls close. this is after he suffered a stroke a few days ago. he seems to be recovering and in good spirits this morning. so many races, so many states, important results for both parties. another race we re following in north carolina, congressman madison cawthorn is on his way out. the trump favorite conceded late last night. cawthorn was once viewed as a rising star in the gop, however his political career tarnished by recent scandals from video, salacious video, claims that put him on the outs within his own party. we re following both parties in these states as only cnn can. let s begin on the ground in two states, let s go to the state where things haven t been called yet on senate side in pennsylvania. democratic side, j
