Former hedge fund CEO David McCormick has conceded the Republican primary election for a US Senate seat in Pennsylvania to celebrity surgeon and television wellness expert Mehmet Oz, who is now set to face Democratic candidate John Fetterman in a fall general election in the battleground state.
Mr McCormick, speaking at an election event in the state on 3 June, said he called Dr Oz to concede after trailing the TV personality in a statewide recount of the votes in the closely watched primary race.
