Trump leans toward Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania Senate race [View all]
In the race for Donald Trumps coveted endorsement in Pennsylvanias Senate GOP primary, it looks like Dr. Mehmet Oz has the edge.
The former president is leaning toward endorsing Oz, said three people familiar with Trumps thinking, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Trump said recently that he is nearing a decision on whether to weigh in on the race, which is a key contest in the battle for the Senate majority this fall.
With Trump, though, nothing is final until its final and its possible hell decide to issue no endorsement. He has recently met with both Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick in Mar-a-Lago and talked with multiple people about the GOP primary.
McCormick and Oz, as well as their allies, have been locked in a battle for months over Trumps nod. With his loyal base and unparalleled popularity among Republican voters, Trump could have a significant impact on the contest. If he picks a favorite, their success or lack thereof will also be closely watched as a test of his own hold on the party ahead of the 2024 presidential election, particularly since some of his candidates have faced challenges this year.
