Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance and West Virginia Rep. Alex Mooney, both of whom are endorsed by the former president, also appeared. Oz and McCormick have consistently polled within three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/senate\/pa\/pennsylvania_senate_republican_primary-7485.html\">points<\/a> of each other, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/09\/donald-trump-endorses-mehmet-oz-pennsylvania-senate\/\">Trump-endorsed<\/a> candidate holding a slight edge. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/06\/mehmet-oz-david-mccormick-pennsylvania-senate-poll-donald-trump-endorsement\/\"><strong>(RELATED: POLL: Despite Trump Endorsement, Pennsylvania Senate Nomination Remains Up For Grabs)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Both Oz and McCormick made overt plays for the endorsement, with McCormick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/12\/22\/trump-alums-david-mccormick-staff-525935\">tapping<\/a> former administration officials Hope Hicks, Stephen Miller, and Mike Pompeo to aid his campaign. Oz, meanwhile, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-election\/dr-oz-fan-mar-lago-melania-trump-rcna20641\">boosted<\/a> by Fox News host Sean Hannity and Melania Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rev.com\/blog\/transcripts\/donald-trump-held-a-rally-in-greensburg-pennsylvania-on-5-07-22-in-support-of-gop-senate-candidate-dr-oz-transcript\">spoke<\/a> about the two candidates\u2019 jockeying for his endorsement at the rally, noting that Oz is \u201csupported by Sean Hannity, and we all love Sean Hannity, Rick Perry, and very importantly, he\u2019s supported by somebody known as me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Trump said, \u201cDavid came out very strongly against me on numerous occasions. This was before he was going to run. All of a sudden, he said, \u2018Boy, I like this guy a lot.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Oz is running against the liberal Wall Street Republican named David McCormick, who I\u2019ve known. And David\u2019s another one, in all fairness, and he will say this. He fought hard for it. He wanted it. He hired almost every person that worked anywhere. If anybody was within 200 miles of me, he hired them. But he did want my endorsement very badly, but I just couldn\u2019t do it,\u201d the former president added.<\/p>\n<p>McCormick responded to Trump\u2019s claim that he is \u201cnot MAGA\u201d and \u201ctotally controlled \u2026 by Mitch McConnell,\u201d telling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-05-07\/mccormick-downplays-trump-attacks-as-bid-to-justify-backing-oz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bloomberg<\/a> that the former president lashed out due to Oz\u2019s weak support.
