McCormick, addressing supporters in Pittsburgh Friday evening, said that with the race so close he felt an obligation to make sure that every vote was counted. “But it’s now clear to me, with the recount largely complete, that we have a nominee and today I called Mehmet Oz to congratulate him on his victory,” he said.
