Pennsylvania’s Senate GOP primary too close to call

Former hedge fund CEO Dave McCormick and celebrity physician Mehmet Oz were nearly tied in Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate primary Tuesday night, and the race appeared headed for a recount.

Mr. McCormick appeared to supporters at his campaign headquarters near midnight and told them he expected to win, but not tonight.

“We’re gonna win this campaign,” he told the cheering crowd before telling them that there were still “tens of thousands” of early votes still to be counted, starting Wednesday.

”Unfortunately, we’re not gonna have a resolution tonight, but we see a path ahead,” he said.

Mr. Oz also appeared before supporters shortly before midnight and neither conceded nor claimed victory.

Just before midnight, with 97% of the vote counted, Mr. McCormick had 31.2% of the vote, compared to 31.1% for Mr. Oz and 24.7 for conservative commentator Kathy Barnette.
