Former President Trump is urging celebrity physician Mehmet Oz to declare victory in Pennsylvania’s GOP Senate primary even as the race remains too close to call.
In a post on Truth Social, the social media platform Trump founded last year, the former president said Oz should proclaim himself the winner of the contest, arguing that doing so would make it “much harder for them to cheat with the ballots that they ‘just happened to find.’”
Oz, whom Trump endorsed last month, is deadlocked with former hedge fund CEO David McCormick in the Republican Senate primary, with fewer than 3,000 votes separating the two.

People need to take Trump's tweets with a grain of salt instead of getting their panties stuck in their cracks.
A little diplomacy gets you Rex Tillerson.
Well, it's a Republican primary and Oz is the social liberal. So I guess Trump is accusing conservatives of electoral fraud now.
Trumps problem is he never fabricated a filtering system to remove the sludge. And frankly, some the replacement water was just as polluted as what he tried to replace. For example, his cabinet.
That is what we are doing now. Cleaner water to flush out the crud.
Trump was new and did not have a base to draw from. So he had to trust others that he believed were like minded. I don’t believe just how deep and broad the corruption and infection had spread. He does now and he has a better base to support him in the future.
Even with all of the horrendous obstacles that were thrown at him at every junture, He still prevailed.
Me too, mr ficus.
You are not accurately reflecting what Trump wrote, are you.
Quote here what Trump wrote.
Not going to happen. He makes unforced errors time and time again.
Trump Gonna Trump, gotta take the not-so-good with the good, he still beats any alternative.
My husband voted for Oz.He should declare Victory.
I’m not in PA, but it seemed to me that Barnett took enough votes away from the Trump candidate to make it a very close outcome.
Shows how much people care about the abortion issue. Take heed for the future, GOP.
How is keeping “quiet at times” working for you in the age of Biden?
Huckster versus hedge fund manager?
Glad I don’t live in PA.
Oz would not be my first choice and have the same reservations as most...that said..Notice how there is no mention as to who has the most votes in any of these articles. Recount yes, but no use saying that a Trump backed candidate has a lead!
Trump is losing confidence with the people in Pennsylvania with his pushing of Oz. If he does not stop, he will lose backing here in this state. I think he made a mistake pushing a man who is not true pro-life a hundred percent. I sent him a mail suggesting that a couple of weeks ago. Now he is pushing really hard in a race so close. Be careful Donald!
Oz won’t declare victory now, that would make him look like a puppet.
Oz is a greasy slimeball, Hannity puppet. If not for the Trump endorsement, Oz would have been in 4th place (in the single digits). Never forget, Trump endorsed Mitt Romney (in a red state), and look what that got us.
I predict at least 20% of republicans will vote for Fetterman (or leave the senate choice blank). Oz will need a huge advantage with Independents. If Oz wins, I also predict he will switch to the democrat party if the Senate ends up 50-50. That’s how much I distrust and despise that RINO carpetbagger.
Right, candidates should never declare victory until the AP or one of the cable news networks decides who won. /S
