Dr. Oz Concedes PA Senate Race to Fetterman
Republican candidate Mehmet Oz called his Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, to concede the Pennsylvania race for US Senate, says Fetterman’s camp.
Fetterman’s communications director, Joe Calvello, tweeted that the star of The Dr. Oz Show called the left-wing candidate at 9:30 Wednesday morning to accept defeat. Calvello’s announcement came just seven minutes after the call reportedly took place.
“It’s official. I will be the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania,” the lieutenant governor said late Tuesday night, after major news outlets began predicting the outcome of the race in his favor.
“We bet on the people of Pennsylvania – and you didn’t let us down. And I won’t let you down. Thank you,” he added.
According to The Hill, the contest between Oz and Fetterman has been one of the closest Senate races in the country, as it’s one of the seats that could’ve helped give the GOP the majority representation.
The Democratic win over the previously-Republican seat held by the retiring Sen. Pat Toomey is a key victory for the party.
