commonwealth. the senate gop primary. hedge fund guy dave mccormick and trump-endorsed tv doc dr. mehmet oz locked in a tighter than tight battle. look at that. just 2,600 votes apart. the trumpiest candidate really not endorsed by him kathy barnette trailing despite what looked like a late surge and people were concerned she might actually win, or could win. cnn projects doug mastriano, a champion of the bogus big lie of election fraud, in 2020 has won the gop governor s primary there. and talk about high drama. as cnn projects john fetterman wins pennsylvania s democratic senate primary. he is exactly where he didn t expect to be right now, though, watching from his hospital bed. he s recovering from surgery to get a pacemaker today after he suffered a stroke on friday. and then there is north carolina. that s where madison cawthorn has conceded to chuck edwards. the 26-year-old cawthorn conceding after multiple scandals, everything from bringing a loaded handgun through a
but without a doubt we re going to probably have a recount in a lot of these count these votes because it s going to be so close and we re going to find out that barnette has come from the sleeper candidate of this race to the spoiler candidate for oz because she has been just zapping votes from him. the unique thing about this, though, and what many people and my good friends on the republican party don t want to acknowledge, is that there s nothing real about dave mccormick. a hedge fund guy who all of a sudden becomes a tea party guy who all of a sudden becomes a maga guy who yesterday was on breitbart radio. that is not who dave mccormick is. so he s going to waffle and wharf so what are you saying? i m saying it s going to be very difficult for someone who is not true to themselves toog to be able to go throughout the different portions of pennsylvania. i will admit charlie knows this have i v way better than i do. and win this race. you have to have somebody who is at l
in the democratic party is simply this. the democratic party, you saw malcolm kenyatta tonight, who ran an amazing race even though he got 10% of the vote. malcolm kenyatta is a very, very young candidate. he s an awe-inspiring candidate. gay black man who ran extremely strong in philadelphia. what s happening is the democratic party has already consolidated around fetterman. we re going to go out there and do whatever we can around fetterman. this race is going to boil down to whether or not black folk can come out and vote in philadelphia and the surrounding areas. and i believe they will. the difference, though, is fetterman can do something that other candidates in pennsylvania have not been able to do, which is that fetterman can speak to rural white voters. he simply can. and i think dave mccormick s going to have a problem because a hedge fund guy who all of a sudden is a common man? that s a hard sell. regardless of what people are saying. it isn t that hang on. go ahead.

kristen holmes with the mccormick campaign in pittsburgh. hello to both of you. good evening. good morning. it s good to see you. i m going to start with you, kristen because this race is as tight as it gets. we just heard from dave mccormick. what is he saying tonight? i see you looking over your shoulders. something s going on. reporter: yeah, i was just seeing who s left here. they basically cleared out the entire area. mccormick coming out and telling everyone to go home, that the race was not going to be called today, is that there were tens of thousands of mail-in ballots still needing to be counted. one adviser telling me they believe it s roughly 80,000 ballots that still need to be counted. of course that s yet to be seen. i will tell you that advisers still feel very optimistic about the way the math is trending. they say they believe they are overperforming in areas they thought oz was going to do better. the areas they re doing well in they expected to do well in. and the
