so can mehmet Öz make up 2500 votes? it is tough to say.really flicks at the moment that this is definitely going t be an automatic recounts and that is the rule in pennsylvani and that appears to be the case between these two here tonight. i do want to show you this because we are coming up at 11: 30 and let me get you the right one here pick the governors race in idaho is fascinating. you've got him being challenged by the lieutenant governor. any time that the governor left the state of idaho during the pandemic, the lieutenant governor took over and she woul change the covid rules for idah so he would have to come back and change them back again. this is ada county down here pick it just gives util taste right now, the most populated county of idaho. population about 450,000 and in boise, almost 2-1 in that race. also congressional district here , congressional district to make the is up for grabs tonigh in oregon there's three different congressional races that are very interesting and i will show you one of them right now and that is

david mccormick orr mehmet oz? and there is a lot of waffling in the answers.here riling in rural pennsylvania for mehmet oz, but there is a lot of apprehensive nunes amongst a great number of voters. what did that eventually lead us to,? kathy barnette, she is not going to be our storyline tonight, or tomorrow, she's not gonna win this thing. at the same time, the conversations you and i are having is the extent that kathy barnette would dilute the vote for david mccormick and mehmet oz, look where we are, steve is looking at that map, and he was calling out the suburban areas around the greater philadelphia area where we are standing right now. bucks county is one of them. this was an area that minutes oz was looking to capitalize on. the more affluent, conservative suburbs of the philadelphia area, where mehmet oz has been opinion on tv screens. the concern was, kathy barnette was going to cut into his difference here. that's exactly what she did. i was just talking with an adviser to kathy barnette, who said they took a greater share of votes another exampl

there's a bunch of same-day vote in which doctor mehmet oz is well-positioned.e green here. and we don't know which counties haven't done everything, some due at the end, some do at the beginning, telling those same-day votes, dumping another thousand or so, 813 vote leads for mehmet oz, and triggering an automatic statewide recount, that could take a few days. shannon: talking about what we did last hour, when people were going to vote before in pennsylvania, they said what is the most important thing for your candidate that they can win in november with 62%, it was clear in the way the most important thing for those that were going to vote in the primary. and so we have talked about how either of them, most of them are kind of the same type of matchup with john fetterman, some think may have a better chance is mccormick. so we do know that there is concern about doug mastriano matching up with his opponent in the fall, what is the take in the concern there? 2 i think that the concern is that he has painted it as being extreme. but pennsylvania is a place where

mehmet oz, backed by former president trump or kathy barnette, a far—right candidate who has appealeders. and for the democrats, john fetterman who is recovering from a stroke, has won. he was up against malcolm kenyatta, alexandria khalil and conor lamb. john fetterman�*s wife, giselle, updated his supporters after the vote. you may have noticed, i am not john fetterman. the next senator of our great state! so before i get started, i would like to take a moment to address the elephant in the room, which is that my husband, john fetterman, is not in the room tonight. as i'm sure you all know, he had a little hiccup on friday while we were on the road campaigning. thank god he is already on his way to a full recovery and we are so grateful to the doctors, nurses and staff at the hospital who have gone above and beyond to support ourfamily and have gone above and beyond to support our family and all the families that they serve. we'll speak to our correspondent — nomia iqbal — who is in pennsylvania shortly. in spain, the government has approved a draft bill that would allow 16 and 17—y

>> 637 votes, that is mehmet oz lead over david mccormack.0% of the votes in. let's take you right through where is the outstanding vote? where are the biggest batches of votes left? the most the biggest single batch of outstanding votes is in delaware county. right outside of philadelphia. you see how delaware is looking right now. the second biggest bat outstanding votes. bucks county where office got a big boost recently, that put him ahead statewide. the third biggest batch outside outstanding votes is outside the state capitol. where harrisburg is. the fourth biggest batch of outstanding votes isn't lancaster county. a lot of these are mail-in ballots, they've had some mechanical some technical issues. some prophesy issues with mail ballots. a lot of these are going to be mail ballots. another large batch of outstanding votes, it's incompetent county where carlisle is. five outstanding votes again. with mom and was leading by 637 votes statewide. where do we expect things to go from here? again, it all of these counties, and some others,

you can see mehmet oz, a 2564 votes ahead at this point.00 votes ahead when we came on the air at 5:00 a.m. where are the votes still to be counted? well, we're not totally sure. it seems throughout the entire state there are a few, there might be some election day votes still to count in allegheny county, which is a county that dave mccormick did very well in. he edged out -- or is edging out mehmet oz by about 6,000 votes there. but there are also some counties where oz seems to be doing well, where there might be some votes left to be counted there, like philadelphia, where he's got a 4,000-vote edge, 93% reporting at this point. whoever does win this race will face off against democrat john fetterman, lieutenant governor of pennsylvania, you can see how well he did in this race. nearly 60% of the vote. of course, on election day itself, fetterman was in the hospital having a pacemaker put in. kaitlan? >> and, of course, those are raising big questions about what this is going to look like going forward for him, winning this race in such

>> 637 votes, that is mehmet oz lead over david mccormick.we see we have more than 90% of the votes in. let's take you right through where is the outstanding vote? where are the biggest batches of votes left? the most the biggest single batch of outstanding votes is in delaware county. right outside of philadelphia. you see how delaware is looking right now. the second biggest bat outstanding votes. bucks county where office got a big boost recently, that put him ahead statewide. the third biggest batch outside outstanding votes is outside the state capitol. where harrisburg is. the fourth biggest batch of outstanding votes isn't lancaster county. a lot of these are mail-in ballots, they've had some mechanical some technical issues. some prophesy issues with mail ballots. a lot of these are going to be mail ballots. another large batch of outstanding votes, it's incompetent county where carlisle is. five outstanding votes again. with mom and was leading by 637 votes statewide. where do we expect things to go from here? again, it all of these

mehmet oz, about 25% of that 9% share of the vote.ccormick, however, off to a pretty good run at about 32%, as you see the vote come in. kathy barnette trailing by about 12 points down there at the bottom. where is the vote still to be tabulated? i can tell you, sean, if you are to look at the state of pennsylvania, i will show you in a moment, you can draw a t and find out where the republican voters vote and where the democrats vote in just a moment. however, this is pittsburgh, allegheny county, the hometown of david mccormick, well, okay, there it is. it is the second-largest of 67 counties. that gives you an idea of how many votes there are in allegheny county, in the city of pittsburgh, and about -- it is still early in that part of the state. down in the southeast, this greene county right here, that is the county and the city of philadelphia. there are a ton of votes here that have yet to be counted. number one populated county in the entire state out of 67. i was mentioning where you find votes in the state of pennsylvania. t

trump's pick, mehmet oz was deemed the front runner in a three-way contest and now is neck and neck withave mccormick and the race is too close to call. john fetterman will get the nomination sdiet being in the hospital. he had a stroke and underwent surgery to install a pacemaker with a defibulator but the expensive senate showdown capturing the attention in pennsylvania. take a listen. >> unfortunately we are not going to have resolution tonight but we can see the path ahead and victory ahead. it is all because of you. >>> we are making a ferocious charge. >> cnn christian holmes picks up the story from pittsburgh. >> while the mccormick campaign watches that campaign between he and mehmet oz grow smaller and smaller they like the way that the map is trending and in areas they thought oz would do better, they are overperforming. an area where oz is doing well they would have anticipated given that it is trump country. they are looking at the mail-in ballots and think they are going to take the race but it is a razor thin margin and it looks like it could be anyone's game. >> now from o

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 right now you see oz just edging ahead. but this isn't going to be over. this is going to be days. this is in recount territory. every ballot counts right now. 851. >> did you say days? >> possibly. >> we thought hours, maybe. >> hour

mehmet oz with 31.2%. it seems clear that kathy barnette has taken votes from mehmet oz. >> yes.etter. >> in bucks county. >> i think that his appeal is a little bit mixed. he's be propelled by the trump folks, he's ldalso a television personal. they've been attacking him for being too moderate. it's a mix of those things. getting back to the other issues and you look at these rural counties and john king is saying mccormick's doing better than expected. he's getting 30, 32, 33% of that vote. and kathy barnette is taking some of that trump vote away from the oz counting. >> do you think the fact that mccormick was attacking oz and saying he wasn't conservative enough might -- on issues like apportion, on guns, on -- >> it's not 31.2%. >> one things we haven't talked about tonight about oz is the people and i guess this is mccormick, too, but people don't think he's really of the state. and they kind of look at oz and they say you're a carpet bagger. i know that mccormick lived in connecticut, et cetera. but they look at oz and say you're foreign to me. >> he can still win this ra

he encouraged mehmet oz to declare victory now. >> we can see the path ahead. we can see victory ahead. and it's all because of you. so thank you, pennsylvania. >> reporter: a fight to the minutes in the republican senate primary in pennsylvania. with thousands of votes still left to be counted. >> when it's this close, what else would you expect? everything about this campaign has been tight. >> reporter: the deadlock between former hedge fund executive david mccormick and celebrity dr. mehmet oz could trigger an automatic recount. >> we want to make sure we have integrity, veracity and transparency. >> reporter: ballots remain to be counted across the state. in lancaster county about ballots were misprinted and are being remarked by hand in order to be scanned there would be an automatic recount if the margin is half a percentage or less. >> by next tuesday we have a good sense whether or not there will be an automatic recount. >> reporter: the two will see a nasty primary battle extended, but without kathy barnette, the commentator who saw a late surge but f

mehmet oz and former hedge fund executive dave mccormick are locked in a dead head, trump is behind mehmet oz and posted the move would make it quote much harder for them to cheat. our congressional correspondent is live in pa. a lot of the officials are hand-counting the results there, right? >> yeah, shepard, the drama here could go on for days if not weeks about half of pennsylvania's 67 counties were still working through their ballots today. latest numbers show mehmet oz leading dave mccormick by just 1300 votes here in lancaster county all hands on deck after printing errors discovered on 22,000 mail-in ballots which have to be manually remarked and rescanned. >> the assurance is that we keep a chain of custody here at the county so that every one will be processed. we'll double check the number and make sure every ballot is counted. >> the top leading republican candidates in the race question the integrity of the 2020 presidential election but so far have not commented on the count in their own race, we did see an attorney for the oz campaign watching in lancaster and representativ

trump-backed mehmet oz is against dave mccormick and kathy barnette. each predict ing victory once al votes are counted. now more on the republican senate primary in pennsylvania. >> here is what is happening. oz seems to be gaining. he is making incremental gains. barnette and mccormick. mccormick could have an edge in mail-in votes. it could be not hours but days. i want to bring your attention to a democratic race. this house race in oregon is really key. look at this house race for district 5 in oregon, okay. why are we paying attention to this. a centrist kurt schrader against jamie mcleod-skinner. he held this since 2009. the president's prift eej on the line. >> thanks. our election night coverage of the u.s. midterm primaries resumes in a moment. we will have the latest on key races to watch and how they might shape control of congress. those stories and more when we return. w to fill your space with lasting fragrance inspired by ththe scents of nature you love. air wick. connect to nature. hi. i'm shannon storms bador. when we started selling

mehmet oz's lead has narrowed to just .1 a percentage point. how much trust matters.tical success often hinges on not breaking faith with the people who put you in office. sometimes, though, politicians come undone by losing the trust of their colleagues. enter north carolina republican madison cawthorn. more from randi kaye. >> i'm a fighter, and i'll be a strong voice for faith, family, and freedom. >> reporter: big promises from madison cawthorn. but that was 2020 when the congressman from north carolina was running for office. >> focused on caring about the people i want to represent. >> reporter: but at some point after his stunning political victory, everything changed, and cawthorn's political future unravelled. his message turned from caring to chaos. this was on january 6th last year just before rioters stormed the capitol. >> my friends, i want you to chant with me so loud that the cowards in washington, d.c. i serve with can hear you. >> reporter: there was also this behavior of cawthorn, this video of him punching a tree with millions of people just trying

and mehmet oz actually leading mccormack doing well here, but mehmet oz actually leading with the same day vote out here. as we said, mccormack the only candidate in the senate rate with a western pennsylvania identifier on the ballot. but in the same day, he is trailing there. barnett again, we just showed you how in the -- mastriano is cleaning up here. barnett and fulton county. office in franklin county. barnett in second place. take a look up here in northern county, it's a close. one mccormack at all, was barnett running a little bit behind. so in the senate race, here we are starting to see some same-day numbers, it's not as clear cut who that's going to work totally in favor here. a couple of good spot for all, as a couple good spot for barnett. if you are oz or barnett though, anytime your color comes up in the western part of the state, that's a particularly good sign because again, as we, say we are wondering if there's a mccormack joe graphic advantage here. at that up in the republican side. mccormack continues to lead. off has edged closer. barnett running a little bit fu

former president trump, urging his candidate, mehmet oz, to declare victory. a move straight from trump's 2020 playbook. trump also suggesting something nefarious may be underway in pennsylvania. again, claims of voter fraud. today, on his own social media site, trump writing, here we go again. in pennsylvania, they're unable to count the mail-in ballots. s it is a big mess. trump crying foul for the senate race, but for the race for governor, no complaints. that's because his candidate won. he has said things repeatedly like this -- >> half the nation believes this election was stolen and i agree with that. that's a fact. >> of course, it's completely wrong. athena jones is in lancaster, pennsylvania. athena, it is incredible here at this moment. mehmet oz has not declared victory when he doesn't have victory yet. if he does, we'll see. any indication we'll know who won the senate gop primary in pennsylvania? >> reporter: it could take several more days. pennsylvania's acting secretary of state said earlier today that by next tuesday, they'll know if the marg

>> doing very well. >> reporter: tv's doctor, mehmet oz. kathy barnette, your opponent, has gained momentum. are you confident that with trump's endorsement you will win tonight's primary? >> yes. i think kathy metaphorically had her moment in the sun. >> reporter: at his election eve rally, trump calling in, saying oz, not barnette can go all the way. >> he's going to have the easiest time of all in the election in november. >> reporter: and that was all one voter, pam dick, needed to hear. she was torn between oz and barnette. are you voting for dr. oz? >> yes. >> reporter: why? >> trump really feels he's the right person. and i trust trump. >> reporter: but a third republican candidate says trump picked the wrong candidate. david mccormick is married to the former president's one-time deputy national security adviser. >> it's extremely important that we put the best candidate forward. that has credibility, experience, resilience. i think i'm the best candidate for that. >> reporter: and david, tonight, a major curveball in the democratic

mehmet oz against david mccormick. so, tonight, who is slightly ahead at this hour? abc's rachel scott back in pennsylvania tonight. >> reporter: in pennsylvania tonight, election workers counting the mail-in ballots that could decid squeaker of a republican senate primary. fewer than 2,000 votes separating tv doctor mehmet oz, who has a slight lead, and former hedgefund executive david mccormick. >> when all the votes are tallied, i am confident we will win. >> reporter: on election night, oz paying special tribute to former president trump, whose endorsement lit a fire under his campaign. >> god bless you, sir, for putting so much effort into this race. i will make you proud. >> reporter: but today, trump urged oz not to wait for all the votes to be counted. "dr. oz should declare victory," the former president said. "it makes it much harder for them to cheat with the ballots that they just happened to find." there is no evidence whatsoever of cheating in the republican primary. and neither of the leading candidates has challenged its legitimacy. >> now we have ten

mehmet oz against david mccormick. who is slightly ahead at this hour? >>> the red flag warnings from california to texas. evacuations in texas, and more than 100 million americans now expected to see temperatures above 90 degrees tomorrow. this all moves into the northeast by week's end and rob marciano tracking it. >>> a milestone victory off the field for the u.s. women's national soccer team. a first of its kind deal for equal pay. >>> and the plane flying over this country, the flight attendant suddenly helping a passenger give birth. and now the baby's name tonight. >>> good evening and it's great to have you with us here on a wednesday night. tonight, breaking news from the white house on the baby formula crisis and the major new covid concerns. we have it all covered. new cases of covid now rising to the highest point since mid-february in this country and daily hospital admissions are now projected to rise in nearly every corner of the nation over the next four weeks. we'll show you the map here tonight, a picture of the spread. a third of ameri

mehmet oz.e a look at lackawanna county where scranton, mehmet oz, wilkes-barre, hazleton, oz putting up good numbers here. i was looking at the spreadsheet. we were trying to track, based on donald trump's performance in 2016 republican primaries. trump swept pennsylvania in the 2016 republican primaries. it's the only republican primary trump ever ran in pennsylvania. if you index this vote to donald trump's performance in the '16 republican primary, the place where is trump got the highest share of the vote in the 2016 primary, oz is doing the best in those places. so, i think there was a boost for oz. but, again, that doesn't mean it's going to be definitive here. because statewide, as you can see, this is how close mccormick has made it. >> steve, elise here, with the number of ballots that still remain to be counted, mail-in, you said that, you know, david mccormick is running about nine points ahead of oz when it comes to mail-in, do you think it's enough for him to eke out a victory and

what i mean by that is listen, mehmet grew up in ohio.e volunteered for the turkish military, went and served in the turkish military at the same time i was serving in the american military under ronald reagan. then he went on to have a long standing set of relationships with turkey he owns properties in turkey he is paid by the turkish government based on a commercial relationship he has with turkish airlines which is owned by the turkish government. and turkey is an adversary. turkey is pro-iran, pro-syria anti-israel and mehmet couldn't even get a security clearance as a first year cia analyst. so these are totally legitimate questions and mehmet needs to answer them. >> mike: john federerman is making this appeal to minority voters. >> currently our minimum wage is a disgrace both here in nationally it's 7.25 an hour. we know the burden of low wages falls disproportionately on black and brown residents in urban communities. >> mike: how do you counter that argument? >> i counter it with facts. what's happened under the trump administr

mehmet oz and kathy barnette. gop voters want to know who will take on the democrats in november. a farm in southern alabama. i grew up underneath a rock. i know exactly what poverty feels like, and i didn't learn about it from a book. i lived it. and i know exactly what i did to get out of it. what we're seeing right now with the radical left, they are domestic terrorists. they are the threat to our democracy, to our republic. our nation does not exist when you have one side who gets to make up all the rules and and then look to the other side and say shut up, sit down, be quiet. it just doesn't work that way. maria: and that was pennsylvania senate candidate kathy barnette with me week over on fox business ahead of this tuesday's razor tight gop primary contest. the race remains wide open. the top three candidates within points of one another. 18% of pennsylvania voters still undecided. my next guest is hoping to beat out mehmet oz and kathy war nyer bridgewater ceo david mccormick. david, thanks very much for being here. >> hey, good morning, maria. maria: why is it so tight, a

it's most likely that she took the votes away from mehmet oz. at the same time, i have talked to people who say she also could have brought out voters who wouldn't have voted for either of her opponents if not for her. >> is it any surprise, michael, that the former president's go-to is to now push dr. oz to declare a victory before all the votes are even counted? >> it's not a surprise because he regrets that he didn't do that. i mean, wolf, this is so reminiscent of the red mirage and blue wave. how often did we talk about that in the presidential cycle? where we cautioned people, don't think that those who vote in person are necessarily the be all and end all of the campaign. you have to wait for all those absentee ballots to be counted. and clearly, the mccormick campaign has done a better job thus far in absentee ballots than has dr. oz. so it's reminiscent of exactly where we are, where i think it was the saturday after the tuesday, joe biden in pennsylvania finally eclipsed donald trump, and that sealed the deal for the presidential campa

dave mccormick got 405 more votes than mehmet oz in this county. but it's important to note it could be several more days before we know the winner because not only are there other counties that are still counting ballots, but there are also going to be in this county and other counties, military and overseas ballots and provisional ballots. they can't begin to be counted yet. there's 589 of them in this county. when the race is this close, all of those votes matter and that is why it is hard to say how long it's going to take before we know the results. >> is there any way to -- is there any sense of how those outstanding ballots may affect the race? >> well, based on what the campaigns are saying and what we're actually seeing, what the campaigns are saying is being held up in the numbers. so, dr. oz is doing well in places like philadelphia and the eastern part of the state. and dave mccormick has been doing well with absentee ballots. they're hoping that continues because a lot of ballots remaining to be counted are the mail-in ballots. each ca

mehmet oz and kathy barnett two hundred twenty four . so i mean in this county alone, which is fifteen of sixty seven in terms of size in pennsylvania, there's a lotyl of votes still out there. i would look v atot pittsburgh e . >> remember this allegheny county you know they're talking about two in population out ofn sixty seven and we got a ways to go there too.0 you know you're talking to sixty eight hundred raw votes. mccormick forty two hundred dr. oz twenty seven for barnett and you seeou the difference hee is mccormick's hometown pittsburgh by the way he grew up down here in washington county just to the southwest. these arengto the pittsburgh he. these the collar counties, the suburbs, the exurbs, the farmlands. energy is a big deal and that part of western pennsylvania, especially as you move over to the east as well. and the issue of fracking. let me h just pop over here. this is lancaster just popped up. it'sn, the first that i've seen here. but again, we're still talking fewer than a thousand votes, fewer than a thousand vote

race that could shape control of congress tightening this morning as mehmet oz's lead shrinks. ♪ >>>elcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world, it is thursday, may 19th. the white house and congress stepping up efforts this morning to address the critical shortage of baby formula. president biden invoked the defense production act, it allows the federal government to have more control over domestic production during emergencies. in this case ordering manufacturers to make key ingredients for baby formula and provide them to formula companies first. >> the white house also announcing operation fly formula, authorizing flights to import formula from abroad and house lawmakers passing a pair of bills, one of which provides an extra $28 million in funding for the fda that's mainly for staffing issues, oversight into preventing future formula shortages. >> elizabeth cohen joins us with much more on what is now more or less military operation to get more baby formula to the united states. >> it really is, john, that's a good way to describe it. who would have thoug

the question is, are there enough of those voters to give mehmet oz the win?ng place to cover politics. >>> there's a new poll out today talking about politics, but what's interesting here is voters opinions on abortion. it looks to be shifting pretty fast. this poll shows 60% of people support legal abortion in ault or most instances. that's up, that's up 6% from a year ago. with all this renewed attention on what might happen with roe v. wade, given that leaked draft opinion suggesting the justices are ready to overturn it. 63% of americans in the same poll don't want that to happen. abortion is climbing the list of issues most important to voters, going up 7% in just the last month to become the fourth most important issue. joining me now, antonia hilton. talk to me about what you are seeing from this poll manifesting in places like there. >> reporter: it's really interesting, hallie. the voters here in anson, many of whom are black, this is a rural community, close to the border with south carolina. their views right now match up very closely with what we

i mean, i like trump, i voted for him, but i'm not a trumper. >> reporter: if mehmet oz pulls off this win, donald trump will be very much a key part of, that hallie. but the other component here that we heard from folks is the fact that they have been aware of who he is. some folks a decade, almost two decades, from his tv show here. but again, that question, is when you're looking out in the rural parts, would kathy barnette make up some of the ground she may not be able to siphon off? can she pull off a greater share in the rural areas to ultimately contend here? this race? >> julia, you look at kathy barnette, doug mastriano, leading gubernatorial candidates, both far right candidates, does this in some ways represent to you any kind of a sea change in the way we should bying this about pennsylvania primary politics? in a state where typically folks that have been successful straddled the middle more? >> yeah, i think it very well may. i think what happens with kathy barnette is going to be part of that. we have been talking a lot about her surge, but what happens here on election

celebrity doctor, mehmet oz, it is david mccormack. new images emerged in barnett, and seen in the gray hat, and coach, marching to the capital building. this is after the ellipse rally, coming to the building. and this photo, she is seen walking next to members of the far-right gang, the proud boys. these two men, later, arrested, and indicted, on federal charges for, allegedly, breaking into the building, and attacking officers. last, night barnett spoke to fox news about these photos, denying any connection to the proud boys. >> first of all, did you go into the capital? how do you talk about that day? >> it was with the proud boys, and i wanted to hear with what the president had to say. >> to clarify, you did not go into the capitol that day? >> i said, i saying, i prayed, i listened to my president, i walked, and then got on the bus, and came home. >> notice how she doesn't say, she didn't go to the capitol that day. i'm not sure what they should conclude. whoever wins tonight, weathers kathy barnett, or one of her rivals, will a

you have mehmet oz here, we were at his rally here in buck's county just last night and he had donald trump on the phone for about 7 minutes as trump went and spoke into the microphone there to a crowd of a few hundred people here and he was making his case for mehmet oz. essentially this is another situation in which he's put his influence on the line for this individual. but then you have kathy barnette, with a homophobic comments that she's trying to dry-clean now. trying to step away from the past comments and not saying that she re -- regrets them. i asked her about comments in five or six years ago in which she called for the banning of islam. take a listen. >> you talked about the banning of islam, what would that look like. >> these particular treats were almost a decade. and very few of them, if any of them, are even a complete thought. >> but you called for the banning and then you said on camera that it was incompatible with the constitution. >> and i'm saying it the not a complete thought or a complete sentence so i believe the media and many others have taken it out of co

mehmet oz, saying she would be a risky choice.ord catastrophe if she were to win, but that is the current state of the trump republican party, if you will, this is exactly what has catapulted her to near the front of the pack. now there is a question if she has peaked too soon or not. you can't go really more than a few moments without watching a negative ad against her from either the oz campaign or david mccormick's campaign saying she's too risky of a choice, but only the voters will know the answer to that. in the final less than four hours or so, her supporters are energized. other republicans. at least some of them, are concerned. >> jeff zeleny in pennsylvania for us, thanks so much. let's bring in medical analyst dr. jonathan reiner, who was the long time cardiologist for dick cheney who also had a pacemaker implanted. fetterman's campaign announced he's going to undergo surgery to implant a pacemaker. we were told, i think it was yesterday, from his campaign that he had a minor stroke on friday. how serious is this, do yo

mehmet oz has thrown his two cents in. he wrote dr. oz should declare victory, like now, before all the votes are counted. joining us now cnn political analyst and senior political correspondent for "the new york times" maggie haberman. that's something, maggie. >> it's, i think, something we've seen before, right? it's something we saw donald trump do with his own victory and he is trying to duplicate that. i don't think he would be doing that if he felt entirely confident that oz was going to win when these ballots are all counted, but what he is doing is muddying the waters and there are huger implications here because republicans are trying to retake the senate, it is going to be much harder if donald trump is casting doubt on dave mccormick the way he's clearly prepared to do. >> what's important, too, is the reaction that you're seeing or not seeing from mehmet oz in response to these comments and from dave mccormick. >> dave mccormick, i think, you know, has taken a lot of lumps from donald trump so i'm not really surprised that

trump endorsed tv doctor mehmet oz and businessman david mccormick you see them here are neck and neck. >>> on the other side, democrats are rallying behind lieutenant governor john fetterman not seen here because he's recovering from a stroke. that's his wife gisele. earlier, they laid out the stake of the race on "morning joe." >> i don't think it's night and day, it's going to make a difference between codifying roe v. wade or looking to raise the minimum wage and addressing climate issues. it's really two different sides of the coin. >> in the governor's race, republican leadership is reeling, worrying about the general election now that state senator doug mastriano won the gop nomination for governor. he rose to prominence by denying the 2020 election results, big ally of donald trump. and was in washington on january 6th. some are probably worried because of all of that he's unelectable in a general against the dem-nominee ad josh shapiro. >>> and in a blow, madison cawthorn will not be returning to congress, losing a race that many said was his to lose. steve kornacki has that o
