Wellness celebrity figure Dr. Mehmet Oz was declared the official winner of the Republican U.S. Senate primary for Pennsylvania on June 8 after a statewide county-by-county recount, narrowly defeating former hedge fund CEO David McCormick.
Oz, a retired heart surgeon best known as the host of daytime TV’s “The Dr. Oz Show,” was found to have won the race by a margin of 951 votes, out of more than 1.3 million votes cast in the state’s primary election on May 17.
