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
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
However, mccormick is doing pretty well in suburban counties and also this base of pittsburgh where he grew up. so you see mccormick has a lot of room to grow in some of the bigger counties in the state but it s pretty clear that barnette ate into oz and that s got to be driving the trump folks crazy tonight. listen, that was one of my first stations that i worked at in philadelphia and we used to cover all these elections. you never know in pennsylvania. it goes blue, red, blue, red. so you never know what s going to happen. if not for barnette, where would mehmet oz be right now, do you think? you ve got to say, again, for reasons i just showed, that kathy barnette has taken away from oz s total. if kathy barnette hadn t been eating into odds s position you d guess he d be in pole position. i want to contrast how tight this race is. we could be heading to recount territory. with for example what happened in the governor s race. the governor s race tonight mastriano basically swee
Over and over again. i m glad you butted your way in. that was a very good point. even with the chicken wing sauce on your tie. hey! i had calamari with the what s the sauce called? sriracha. tried to hide it. it s late, y all. now i m self-conscious. your tie it s not on the west coast. people in l.a. are judging me right now. let me button up. the race in pennsylvania may be the hottest thing going this election night. but there is a race in oregon tonight that is a big test for president joe biden. that s next. all you need is a phone and a finger. just go to vroom.com, scroll through thousands s of cars. then, tap to buy. that s it. no sales speak. no wasted time. just, straight up greaeat cars. right from your phone to your driveway. go to vroom.com and pick your favorite. wooo. oh yeah, she digs it. buy your car on vroom.com
Is unelectable. unelectable. and i suspect i used to serve in the state senate. i don t think that mastriano could beat shapiro in the senate republican caucus in harrisburg. okay. i think everyone learned after 2016 don t count anyone out, right? and i hear people saying that all the time, why are you saying that, because look, he ran away with it. the collar counties of philadelphia and the lehigh valley. 35% of the vote is probably going to come out of those five counties in philadelphia plus the four collar counties, you extend it up to the lehigh valley. that s a lot of of votes. and it s a more moderate area of the state, and i think this stolen election business is going to turn off a lot of swing voting republicans and independents and he s really going to have to make a lot of votes up in other parts of the state. shapiro hasn t had to run hard left. he didn t have a primary. and josh is a pretty popular attorney general. let s face it. so i think that he s well position
