A Pennsylvania state court ruled in favor of former hedge fund CEO David McCormick, who is locked in a tight Republican primary contest for a U.S. Senate seat against celebrity heart surgeon Mehmet Oz, ordering late on June 2 that contested ballots be included in the count.

Oz and McCormick are now duking it out in a statewide recount over less than a thousand votes. The primary vote took place May 17. Former President Donald Trump endorsed Oz’s candidacy.
