DAVID MCCORMICK

Donald Trump’s attacks on fellow Republican David McCormick contributed to the former hedge fund manager’s loss in Pennsylvania’s Senate primary in May.

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman struggled at times to explain his positions and spoke haltingly throughout a highly anticipated debate against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz as they vie for a critical U.S. Senate seat.

More than halfway through a tumultuous primary season, voters have rendered verdicts in a number of contests, many of which featured candidates arguing they best represented a continuation of policies favored by former President Donald Trump.

The sense of urgency surrounding the court’s action fell off last week, when Republican Senate candidate David McCormick conceded to rival Mehmet Oz.

The Supreme Court is allowing elections officials to count mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania that lack a handwritten date but were received in time.

The Supreme Court is allowing elections officials to count mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania that lack a handwritten date but were received in time. Last week, Alito had imposed a temporary hold on counting the ballots to give the justices more time to consider the matter. At the time, former hedge fund CEO David McCormick was locked in a tight contest with celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination.

Oz will face Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman — who recently had a stroke — in the November midterm election.

The outcome isn't very surprising, since David McCormick conceded last week.

Dr. Mehmet Oz has won Pennsylvania's Republican U.S. Senate primary after a dayslong recount.

Former hedge fund CEO David McCormick is conceding the Republican primary in Pennsylvania for U.S. Senate to celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz. McCormick ended his campaign Friday night as he acknowledged an ongoing statewide recount wouldn’t give him enough votes to make up the deficit.

Before the recount, Oz led McCormick by 972 votes out of 1.34 million.

The U.S. Supreme Court is temporarily blocking the counting of some mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday temporarily blocked the counting of some mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, an order that could affect the tight Republican Senate primary between former hedge fund CEO David McCormick and celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz. An order from Justice Samuel Alito paused a lower-court ruling in a lawsuit over a disputed 2021 local court election that would have allowed the counting of mail-in ballots that lacked a handwritten date. Based on that ruling, the state had advised counties to count those ballots in the race between McCormick and Oz.

Mail-in ballots that arrived on time but in envelopes missing dates handwritten by voters have been a flashpoint in recent elections in the key swing state, including a close Republican primary race.

A likely recount would mean that the race between Dr. Mehmet Oz and David McCormick might not be decided until June 8, the deadline for counties to report their results to the state.

The Republican primary race for the U.S. Senate remained close enough to trigger Pennsylvania's automatic recount law.

Election officials in Pennsylvania are girding for similar complaints in November, but fear there are few ways to combat deliberate misinformation and rising political toxicity. “It’s concerning because it’s statements like that that lead to threats against election officials. Under state law, county officials are not allowed to start processing ballots submitted by mail until Election Day. But changing the law to allow mail-in ballots to be processed sooner could ease a lot of the suspicion, experts say. Election officials are also eagerly awaiting a ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that could dramatically reshape mail-in balloting in November.
