Dr. Mehmet Oz has won the race for Donald Trump’s coveted endorsement in Pennsylvania’s Senate GOP primary.

In a key contest in the battle for the Senate majority this fall, the former president announced Saturday that he is backing Oz, praising the celebrity television doctor in a statement as “Pro-Life, very strong on Crime, the Border, Election Fraud, our Great Military, and our Vets, Tax Cuts, and will always fight for and support our under-siege Second Amendment.”

POLITICO previously reported that he had been leaning toward Oz, according to three people familiar with Trump’s thinking, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Trump recently met with both Oz and former hedge fund CEO David McCormick in Mar-a-Lago and talked with multiple people about the GOP primary.
