Republican primary race, as Democratic candidate reveals just how serious his recent health scare was"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

It’s being called one of the nation’s most important Senate contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David McCormick conceded to Dr. Mehmet Oz Friday evening in the Pennsylvania Republican primary race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Today I called Mehmet Oz to congratulate him on his victory,” McCormick said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCormick acknowledged that a statewide recount wouldn’t give him enough votes to make up the deficit against Oz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I will do my part to try to unite Republicans and Pennsylvanians behind his candidacy and behind his nomination for the Senate,” McCormick said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Oz will go on to face Democrat John Fetterman in the general election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fetterman is currently in recovery after having a stroke in the days leading up to primary election day last month. He released a statement Friday with an update on where he’s at with his health, and how he ended up in this position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fetterman acknowledged that he found out he had a heart condition back in 2017 when he went to the hospital with swollen feet. But he didn’t follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fetterman’s statement reads, in part: “I should have taken my health more seriously. The stroke I suffered on May 13 didn’t come out of nowhere. I almost died, and I didn’t do what the doctor told me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fetterman called his stroke “completely preventable,” saying if he had continued taking blood thinners, it never would have happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Democratic candidate added that he’s not at 100% yet but asks for voters to bear with him as he continues his recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will face Dr. Oz this November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fetterman also added that he realizes how important the race is, not only for Pennsylvania but for the country as a whole. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
