President Donald Trump is urging Pennsylvania Republicans to reject surging Senate candidate Kathy Barnette in a Tuesday primary as controversial past remarks surface making her a tougher sell in the general election.
Trump backs Dr. Oz ahead of voting in what appears to be a three-way race against Barnette, a firebrand political commentator and failed 2020 House candidate, and businessman David McCormick.
“She lost her race as a congressional candidate by more than 20 points. She was really hit hard,” Trump said in Thursday night teleconference remarks circulated by Oz’s campaign.
“The problem is nobody knows what she is, what she stands for, who she is. It’s very risky because you’re going to win this with Oz,” Trump added.
“Kathy’s going to be a lot of trouble. I think she’s going to be a lot of trouble,” Trump said. “She may have a great future, but she’s totally an unknown. We can’t have that. So a vote for Oz is a vote for victory, and a vote for anyone else is a vote for giving away an election that really has to be had. We have to take a majority in the Senate.”

I’ll have to say, this Oz endorsement makes zero sense. If he were going purely for the “electability” argument and that his endorsement was purely pragmatic in that sense vs. not endorsing Kathy Barnette, I could see it making sense for him to have endorsed Carla Sands - a far better candidate than Oz.
He inherited his money.
conservative98 is Karl Rove Jr.?
Right on.
True.
Trump gets all sorts of things wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like endorsing Amnesty Senators.
Amnesty is the opposite of MAGA.
He inherited a nut, he grew the tree.
“He inherited his money.”
Trump got a BIG leg up there, but his own achieved multiplier on that is YUGE.
Trump might think about letting the PA voters speak. If she wins he can back her.
Be a lot harder if he burns bridges.
Just my opine...not a PA voter.
Yep. That’s ME! Good ol’ “Establishment” ROVE! Supporting DONALD TRUMP and his candidates. (Give it up dopey Kathy Barnette fanboys)
Well, I guess the folks in Pennsylvania will decide. I think I would go with the candidate that the Amish support, with Kathy B.
Screw Trump and his wicked killer “vaccine”
He and his muzzie Turkish buddy Oz can crawl back under a rock
Trump forgot to note that he lost the same district by 25 points she did five points better than him.

No you are supporting, at best, another Ditch minion.
Ditch is clearly NOT MAGA. Yugely.
You are supporting CHUCK SCHUMER. Good going!
dang
Is Trump still pushing vaccines?
Schmuckie is only slightly worse than never-Trumper Ditch.
He trusted McCain to get rid of ObamaCare and got the thumbs down. The same thing will happen with Oz.
Oz could easily fit in between He-who-must-never-be-named and Mittens.
