2024 Pennsylvania Senate Primary Election Live Results
McCormick Concedes, Oz Wins GOP Nomination
Fetterman Wins Democratic Primary by Landslide
The 2024 Pennsylvania Senate primary election has wrapped up, with Mehmet Oz emerging victorious in the Republican race and John Fetterman securing the Democratic nomination. Oz, a celebrity heart surgeon and TV personality, defeated former hedge fund CEO Dave McCormick by a narrow margin. Fetterman, the current Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, won the Democratic primary by a landslide.
The Republican primary was closely watched, as it featured several high-profile candidates, including McCormick, Oz, and Kathy Barnette. Barnette, a conservative commentator, surged in the polls in the final weeks of the race, but ultimately finished third. Oz's victory is a major upset, as he was considered a long shot at the beginning of the campaign.
On the Democratic side, Fetterman was the clear frontrunner throughout the race. He is a popular figure in Pennsylvania, known for his progressive views and his working-class background. His victory is a major boost for Democrats, who are hoping to flip the Senate seat held by Republican Pat Toomey.
The general election campaign is expected to be highly competitive, with both parties hoping to win the key swing state of Pennsylvania. Oz will need to consolidate support from the Republican base, while Fetterman will need to appeal to a broad range of voters, including independents and moderate Republicans.
