Oz received 419,999 votes while McCormick received 419,048 votes , the acting secretary of state said in a news release Wednesday night. Vote totals within one-half of one percent margin automatically trigger a mandatory recount.McCormick had already conceded the race last week.Oz will face Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in one of the nation's marquee Senate races of this year's midterm elections. Republicans view holding on to the seat of retiring GOP Sen.
Oz's campaign had faced a slate of attacks over his reversals on abortion rights, which he once said he supported and now says he opposes, and his Turkish citizenship and service in the Turkish military. While his primary bid was bolstered by an endorsement from Trump, who campaigned for him days before the election, the Pennsylvania race exposed fractures within the GOP, with the former President endorsing a candidate who was seen as more moderate than other contenders.
