Conservative commentator Kathy Barnette, who came in third in Pennsylvania's Senate Republican primary, is "having discussions" with Dr. Mehmet Oz's team about endorsing her former rival, she told the Washington Examiner in an interview Tuesday.
For much of the campaign, the Pennsylvania GOP primary was centered on Oz, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, and businessman Dave McCormick. The two nearly tied when all the votes were counted, with Oz coming out on top by less than 1,000 votes. Barnette began surging in the polls during the final days of the race, as the battle between Oz and McCormick grew extremely negative, and received 24.7% of the vote.
Asked how she thought Oz was performing as a general election candidate, Barnette deferred to talking about Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, Oz's Democratic opponent, whom she said was "Biden 2.0, not only in just diminished physical abilities at this moment as we see with Biden, but also in the policies."
Pressed further on whether she would endorse Oz, Barnette said their teams were "having conversations" about making that possible.
"You know, 'endorse' is the magic word that everyone is looking for," she said in explaining her hesitancy. "I got almost a third of the vote. I am not a box for you to check. I represent a very real and a very determined voice of people who want to have their values reflected, and my only focus is making sure that those voices are reflected. So I will do my part, not only for our state but for those voices."
"We're having conversations, Oz and I. We and our teams are actively having a conversation to make sure that those voices, the 330,000-plus Pennsylvanians who came out and voted for me, despite tremendous harms, that their voices are respected

Not voting for Oz. Trump crapped the bed.
I’m voting for Trump and anyone he endorses. I owe him that
It may be unfortunate that Melania held sway, but,
as we all know, understandable.
“I’m voting for Trump and anyone he endorses. I owe him that”
Not me. Trump makes bad judgments at times. As long as his choices align with mine then OK. But I will evaluate the candidates myself and make my own choices.
Sigh. Agree. Can’t afford to lose a senate seat. Oz is an imperfect choice but the alternative is worse. Need to continue to get MAGA candidates elected when possible to push back on the rino’s. As always - remember the Supreme Court judges are confirmed in the senate.
More proof that Kathy Barnette is a scamming grifter, only in it for HERSELF.
I like Barnett. And like she says, she represents the people.
Here in PA it’s Oz or a radical D who looks like he lives under a bridge. The choice is easy.
Republican Party constantly screwing up. Kathy needs to remember Casey’s seat is up in 2024. Republicans are going need a strong candidate
Imagine that, being an actual adult and thinking for yourself.
Amazingly, it seems a rarity around here.
Oz is a terrible candidate in many ways, but I have said for months that he has a better chance of winning a statewide race in PA than any other prominent Republican candidate.
“Here in PA it’s Oz or a radical D who looks like he lives under a bridge. The choice is easy.”
I am not in PA but I agree with all that. Oz would seem to be preferable.

“What is your quest?”
I hear you and I’m real choosy about who I vote for too.
You’re wrong. Have you gone to Kathy’s many appearances? What county do you live in? Come to our Tea Party meetings in Allentown. She’s always there with her children.
How many ice picks will Oz plant in President Trump's neck before Trump realizes he isn't getting love tickles?
Either she want a position with him if he wins or it's
More than Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.
I agree with you. Kathy Barnette was the only actual conservative in the race.
