Nail-Biter in Pennsylvania: Oz’s Razor-Thin Lead Could Fall to McCormick; Mail Votes Yet to Be Counted
Ashley Oliver 17 May 2022
Dr. Mehmet Oz and businessman David McCormick are within 0.3 percent of each other in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania heading into the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Oz has a 2,672-vote edge over McCormick with 95 percent of votes reported as of about 2 a.m., according to a New York Times tabulation.
McCormick had held a slight lead throughout much of the night, but Oz was expected to pull ahead, potentially only temporarily, toward the end of the vote counting, as Breitbart News detailed in its live coverage of election night.
Oz’s lead, however, may not withstand the thousands of mail-in ballots that have yet to be counted considering McCormick has performed better with mail-in ballots counted thus far.
Ryan Matsumoto with Inside Elections noted there could be about 30,000 outstanding mail-in ballots, and McCormick has so far led Oz by about nine percent in mail-in ballots. If the outstanding ballots end up being consistent or close to consistent with those already counted, the lead in the primary could easily flip back to McCormick.
