PA should change their primary election laws to have runoff elections in the case that no candidate gets a majority. Oz got the nomination in 2022 with just about 30% of the primary vote in a large field. He wouldn’t have survived a runoff, and Republicans had a good chance of winning in the general election.
Guess they haven’t gotten the word about Montana.
There’s no serious GOP primary going on in that Senate race at all now that Rosendale has been bought off (or threatened, or whatever).

Competitive? I hope so, but I kind of doubt it. Bob Casey is a slug. He puts in brief appearances during election years, then he goes back to sleep. But the Casey name is magic among older Pennsylvanians, like the Kennedy name is in Massachusetts.
If McCormick prevails, it will because Trump voters pulled him across the finish line.
The criticism with McCormick is that he’s too cozy with communist China. A lot of his business dealing involve the PCP.
Is he preferable to the mentally retarded Casey? A resounding yes. But McCormick will still need to be watched.
Oz in my view was one of Trump’s big mistakes.
