GOP Race: Oz Wins, Barnette Second

In a close and highly competitive race, Mehmet Oz has emerged victorious in the Republican primary for Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate seat. According to the latest results, Oz secured a narrow victory over Kathy Barnette, with 31.1% of the vote to her 24.8%. Dave McCormick trailed in third place with 23.4% of the votes.
