david mccormick said that we have to wait for mail-in ballots. an interesting change of direction for republican candidates who have questioned the election in 2020 over mail-in ballots over late arriving votes and now they are counting on to get to victory. >> this is a huge surprise i think for a lot of supporters of donald trump, but also for many top republicans on capitol hill who are breathing a collective sigh of relief this morning seeing that kathy barnette is in a distant third. she was invests seen as an unelectable candidate in a general contest and it doesn't seem as though that she has any pathway to victory in this primary at this point. >> however, doesn't mean that she didn't play a role, maybe a major role. because while she's in third right now, taking a lot of votes and oz and mccormick are separated by this razor thin margin. any sense of which candidate she might have taken more from? she is trumpy, but she didn't have the official trump endorsement. >> and dr. oz did. and you can think about a situation where if it had just

county and beaver county, david mccormick's base, the other good news is david mccormick seems to have done well or better than oz in the mail in ballots, and so we're still counting a lot of those, as well. but there are also pockets of the state that we do think that are probably beneficial to oz and so the game for oz is to hold on but hallie, we'll have to count every single ballot still outstanding and head into over time in a recount. >> mark. stand by for a second. antonio, you're posted up in north carolina. listen, the oxygen in the political universe now is getting sucked up in pennsylvania because there is still this outstanding race obviously. we don't know who will be declared the winner despite oz' slim lead here but there is action in north carolina. you're there. you talked to the challenger of madison cawthorn, he lost the e reelection primary. what did chuck edwards tell you getting ready to head into the general now? >> well, hallie, he seemedless surprised by last night's result than others and he told me he had a very friendly concession call with congressman cawth

this is david mccormick home county. there's about 30 precincts that have not reported out of election day vote. the vote that was cast there on election can day yesterday. mccormick has been leading oz by six points in allegheny county. so when those votes are counted it seems likely that mccormick will make up some ground on oz, not enough to erase 2400 votes but enough to cut into it a little bit. by the way, we're getting indications from allegheny county those votes will be counted. it may take a while, not today, may not be tomorrow, maybe the end of the week when they're able to get the votes. there's a batch of votes, 6,000, or 7,000 in allegheny county that are likely to be favorable to mccormick, that's part of the mix there. we also know there's outstanding votes in delaware county. outside of philadelphia. this is one of those big high-population areas. there's ten precincts in delaware county have yet to put out their vote from yesterday pum can see mccormick is leading delaware county. it's very narrow. oz i

it's the pittsburgh area and it is david mccormick's home county. you see mccormick is leading overall. that's the overall vote in allegheny county. if you look at the election day vote in allegheny, because we have about 7,000 election day votes in allegheny county that have not been counted. mccormick is winning those by about six points over oz. there's a pool there of between 6,000 and 7,000 votes of election day votes in allegheny county. that would be an opportunity for mccormick to knock into that oz lead statewide of 2500. where else are we looking at outstanding votes in pennsylvania? you can look at delaware county right outside of philadelphia. there are ten precincts in delaware county that have yet to report their election day vote. mccormick is leading the election day vote there, 34-33, over oz. those are the two main sources of election day vote that we've identified. we're trying to nail down to see if there are other areas in the state where there are outstanding election day votes. when you get beyond the election day vote, what i

most of the attention and money spent is on david mccormick and tv's dr. president trump's endorsement. but there's a late surge in the polls by an underdog, kathy bar net, described on her website as, veteran, former adjunct professor of corporate finance, conservative political commentator. in the final week of the campaign, bar net got endorsement $2 million in tv ads a club for growth pac, conservative pac the ohio senate primary opposed jd vance only to have vance get trump's endorsement and win. barnet put abortion at the center of her candidacy calling herself the by-product of her mother raped at 11. december not having 45, maga does not belong to the present. the most recent poll has this race at this percent. regardless of who wins, i think there are already lessons to be learned from pennsylvania. last week i tweeted this, among my preelection take aways from the upcoming pennsylvania primary, number one, this is who you get when we lack investigative journalists. two, it shows the decreasing importance of paid for television ads. and three, clo

mike pompeo endorsed david mccormick here. e's going to be heads that begin to turn here and a realization that donald trump's word is not final. of course, the former president, you know, he believes every horse he picked was going to win here, but clearly there are republican voters who are willing to draw a line in the sand. whether that is madison cawthorn and his litany of controversial statements in past situations he has put himself into, or whether it is the endorsement of a nebraska gubernatorial candidate, accused credibly by eight women of groping, or a lieutenant governor running for governor in idaho who spoke at a white nationalist conference, the republican party's voters clearly are not willing to cross some lines. whether that ultimately extends to donald trump, i think that's a big question that a lot of folks will be facing come 2024 here. for now, i think it is worth noting, though, that his stable of loyalists, you know, every few weeks here, does continue to grow, despite these losses. j.d. vance, alex moo

he did a robocall for mehmet oz, he trashed david mccormick even though a lot of trump's former staffers work for mccormick right now. i wonder what your takeaways are as far as we're waiting to find out. >> i think we should be careful to not take by the fact that we don't know yet that trump is losing influence really in pennsylvania. all of these candidates, all three of them, oz, barnette, and mccormick, they bear hugged trump. all the way up until the very end. even after trump really, as you said, trashed mccormick, trashed the people who worked for him, went after him hard. mccormick still is characterizing himself, even last night, in terms that trump framed. so that is still true, but what is going on with trump voters is something a little bit different. they are making determinations about who really is the err to trump's political legacy. and it is split. this is something that we have seen in other races, in places like ohio as well, trump voters are splitting about what it really moeans to be in the trum mold. and that's a phenomenon we don't know how that's going to -- at

former hedge fund ceo david mccormick neck and neck with trump-endorsed tv doc dr. mehmet oz. and the race is getting tighter by the minute. straight now to cnn's john avlon with me over here at the magic wall. i should say i'm joining him at the magic wall. pennsylvania. >> look, this is just a stunner. mehmet oz now 851 up. 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

oz who has the trump endorsement ahead of second place david mccormick.hy barnett running a distant third. this a very close race as they try to count the final votes. some mail in ballots still to be counted for a number of places. some election day ballots but the bulk still to be counted are here in lancaster county where they did have an issue with coding on mail in ballots. how long is this expected to get to final count. it's a sizable county. it will be significant. this race is really close. in pennsylvania, when any statewide race is within .5%, the two candidates are within, we go to an automatic recount. most of the ballots are in. >> just a key point, i want to show people the numbers about state law right there. just today, trump encouraged dr. oz to just declare victory. both oz and mckcormick said the right thing. there's votes to be counted. do we have any reporting on how trump trying to meddle might impact things? >> well, trump, we have a record of what that does in the 2020 election. it created this years long dynamic in pennsylvania w

david mccormick has to get 2500 plus votes and oz gets zero. it can happen statewide. a lot of ballots still counted. you have ballots being counted when the margin is this small. they will be running against john fetterman. i'm a little surprised that this. connor lamb was a rising star. 26% running as a moderate. i think people underestimate fetterman, the lieutenant governor. i don't think they should do that. he won overwhelmingly 59% of the vote. >> we're also watching another race. a controversial backed and trump candidate has won. tell us about the implications of this. >> i think this is an undertold story. he's a state senator. this is someone who five years ago in the republican party, ten years ago would be considered a fringe or extremist candidate. now he's the republican nominee for governor in one of the swing e iest states. he's held hearings to investigate supposed fraud in the 2020 election in pennsylvania. this is one of the leading deniers of elections in swing states. it's how he got donald trump's attention and donald trump endorsed him last week

it was just yesterday that the president leased a robo call, knocking david mccormick and kathy barnettey promised us going into this and going into election night that this was going to be a very close election. and this is a very, very close election and the lieutenant governor was a progressive, running away with it, conor lamb, he said if they go on to win this primary, they say that they do prefer to run against john federman, they believe that they have a better ability than they would against conor lamb. so that is what they are feeling right now, that's up to the moment. it is a tight race, depends on the mail-in ballots. shannon: thank you so much. rich edson, we appreciate your reporting. let's check in with brian again. >> that's right, doctor mehmet oz came out and said hey, we are not going to get a result tonight, but we will win and there will be a ferocious charge that will eventually put him at the top of this race. and he said it is a brilliant idea to have done the town halls across the state of pennsylvania, and he praises him for that. he came out doing that first r

in the race against the wishes of some of his former advisers who are working for david mccormick. t. also what is trump saying about abortion? he has been so quiet on this which obviously is uncharacteristic for him. three of the justices on the supreme court who are playing a role in this ruling and what it's eventually going to be are his picks. he hasn't said much about it. this comes as mccormick is framing oz as a pro-choice candidate, not pro-life. that will be fascinating to see how he navigates it. >> given the state, we're going to learn state by state in some places within states that the debates on this issue, you could argue in pennsylvania turn out the pro life evangelical conservative rural trump base. or you could argue what about the suburbs? if you get the moderate pro abortion rights cause si republican, soft republicans to vote for the democrats. this is a test. >> republicans are worried because they thought the suburbs, that left us in 2018, they're back. now it's okay if you're in the suburbs to vote republican. now that's complicated. one note about tonight's

oz and david mccormick. last month dr. oz earned former president trump's endorsement. nt that oz made on abortion will hurt him and believes he has the background requires for the job. >> i can step into these issues whether inflation or what is going on in ukraine, energy crisis, border, with a set of experiences that will help me make a difference on day one. >> now tomorrow morning we do expect to speak with dr. oz. tonight the candidates top leading candidates will face off in a debate. on friday former president trump will be holding a rally here in the commonwealth. we'll see if former president trump's endorsement of dr. oz goes as far in pennsylvania as it did for d.j. vance in ohio. >> dana: you are in a beautiful part of the country. we'll enjoy seeing you there today. >> bill: an audience member storming the stage and going after dave chappelle. that suspect is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. is this the new normal for comedians? wow. newly uncovered documents reportedly showing the cdc tracked millions of americans through their phones. what the a

pennsylvania is not so much over donald trump barrett doctor oz famously of television running against david mccormickury. they've been carving each other up. doctor oz claiming mr. mccormick is too close to china because of his business dealing. i mccormick claiming oz is in close to believe it or not turkey. he holds a dual citizenship he is both a turkish and american citizen. which is a little bit strange. on the other hand not what's on people's minds right now, paul put the republican candidates keep carving each other up over the non- germane issues like this it opens the field for independent voters to say what it might left with? the candidates is lieutenant governor john federman running as a progressive regards elizabeth warren without the restraints. the club for growth which is a republican establishment group is supporting kathy barnette. she is not a total outlier makes sense of this race for us and dave mccormick is a solid candidate as well. >> i think kyle and dan touch on the main things. they have dumped money into growing each other's and negatives. they've done a very so everybod

nonetheless, last night david mccormick and dr.h feel they can win. watch. >> we knew message was resonating with the voters of pennsylvania and showing it today. so incredibly grateful thank you so much. we are going to take back this state and country and it's because of you. got bled you, god bless america. >> my parents were immigrants in this country. recruited to come here because we needed doctors back then. they saw the shiny city on the hill that ronald reagan spoke of. i know many think that that city is a little dim these days. that's not what i saw when i was campaigning. i looked in the eyes of pennsylvanians and i traveled across this beautiful commonwealth and i saw that light as bright as ever. >> steve: there you have got dr. oz he was endorsed full throatedly by donald trump. donald trump had a really good night for the most part. a couple of his endorsements did not pan out. >> brian: idaho governor. steve: and madison cawthorn in north carolina who over the last month has had one scandal revealed after another.

oz or david mccormick? david mccormick will uphold a free and fair election result. >> correct. >> whereas, dr. oz is more likely to go with donald trump. >> george, dr. oz, at least on election night, said, okay, it is not over yet. he didn't declare victory. we'll see what he does now with the pressure from trump. i want to get you on the other race in pennsylvania, the other republican primary, the governors. with doug mastriano being the candidate there, and he is a fuldenier. he said he'd order his secretary of state, which he would get to appoint, a reset of the voter roles. seemingly, he's made it very clear that he would have not certified joe biden's victory in 2020 and would likely, potentially, not certify any democratic victory in 2024. talk to us about the threat he poses if he follows through on that. >> that is a serious threat. one of the things that saved our democracy in 2020 was state officials in arizona and georgia doing the right thing and certifying votes that had been counted properl
