Several prominent conservative groups are getting involved in Pennsylvania's race for U.S. Senate and backing candidate Kathy Barnette as an alternative to Mehmet Oz, the celebrity heart surgeon endorsed by former President Donald Trump.
But the growing focus on Barnette suggests anxiety among some conservative and pro-Trump circles that Oz doesn't sufficiently reflect their views on abortion, guns or the culture wars the GOP is waging against Democrats.
A new InsiderAdvantage poll shows a tight race between Dr. Mehmet Oz, Kathy Barnette and Dave McCormick for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate. With a quarter of voters still undecided, a win is possible for any of the top candidates. Until recently, Pennsylvania's Senate race has been primarily an expensive duel between Oz and McCormick. Both candidates and the super PACs that support them have reported spending more than $50 million and have blanketed Pennsylvania's airwaves with TV ads.
