conceded.

Mehmet Oz
to congratulate him on his victory,” he added. “And I told him what I always said to you: that I will do my part to try to unite Republicans and Pennsylvanians behind his candidacy.” Who says political honor is lifeless?
Mr. Oz is known as a TV physician, however he additionally comported himself like a U.S. Senator. The day after the election, with 1000’s of votes nonetheless uncounted, President Trump urged his endorsed candidate to start out yelling fraud allegations. “Dr. Oz should declare victory,” Mr. Trump stated. “It makes it much harder for them to cheat with the ballots that they ‘just happened to find.’” A day later Mr. Trump added: “Stop FINDING VOTES in PENNSYLVANIA! RIGGED?”

If he had accepted Mr. Trump’s impulsive recommendation, the scene may need gotten ugly, making it tougher to carry Mr. McCormick’s voters to his aspect. Patiently ready for the recounting and litigating to proceed has now allowed Republicans to return collectively in making an attempt to defeat the Democratic nominee, Lt. Gov.
John Fetterman,
who can be a dependable vote for the
Bernie Sanders
agenda.
Don’t anticipate Mr. Trump to study a whit from the nice instance set by Messrs. Oz and McCormick, however different GOP hopefuls would possibly. November stays a good distance off, and it could be good to get there with none made-up fraud prices that pit Republicans towards Republicans.
