Former Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania David McCormick revealed that former President Donald Trump endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz just days after he told him he could not say the 2020 election was stolen.
According to McCormick's book, which came out on Tuesday, Trump told him, "You can't win unless you say the election was stolen."
"I made it clear to him I couldn't do that," he wrote.
McCormick, a veteran and former hedge-fund CEO, detailed that just three days later, Oz received Trump's endorsement, propelling him to a win in Pennsylvania's Republican primary.

McCormick would have lost the general. No Republican was going to win in Pennsylvania in 2020. McCormick would have been attacked as a Wall Street banker, which he is, and that would be that. It's nice that he can get a book deal based on the taste of sour grapes in his mouth, though.
