(Reuters) – U.S. Senate Republican primary candidate David McCormick on Friday conceded to his rival wellness celebrity Dr. Mehmet Oz in the deadlocked race for the party’s nomination.
Oz, who was backed by former President Donald Trump, will now square off against Democrat John Fetterman in the Nov. 8 midterm election to replace retiring Republican Senator Pat Toomey.
