Donald Trump made a blistering attack on former Bridgewater Associates executive David McCormick in support of celebrity physician Mehmet Oz in their U.S. Senate primary race in Pennsylvania, as Oz struggles to break out from a crowded field despite the former president’s endorsement.
Trump staged a rally in the rain and mud in Pennsylvania on Friday night to encourage his staunchest voters to support Oz, hoping to clinch a second consecutive victory-by-proxy of the early 2022 midterm election cycle after his endorsement helped venture capitalist JD Vance win Ohio’s GOP Senate race Tuesday.
