Election updates: Mixed results for Trump-backed candidates in GOP primaries

Two top Democrats in midterm races in Pennsylvania are facing health issues on primary day, causing them both to miss their election night events. One is isolated with COVID and another was in the hospital Tuesday undergoing surgery after a stroke.

Pennsylvania's Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who is running unopposed in the Democratic primary race for governor, announced this morning on Twitter that he tested positive for COVID-19 Monday night. He said he's isolated at home with "mild symptoms" and will be back on the campaign trail next week.

Shapiro also shared on Tuesday afternoon that he voted using an emergency absentee ballot, speaking in a video posted from his campaign's Twitter account.

Meanwhile, the front-runner in the Democratic Senate primary race, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, underwent surgery on Tuesday to get a pacemaker and defibrillator after he suffered a stroke last Friday. As a result, his campaign team said he would not be able to attend his election night rally; instead, his wife, Gisele, will speak in his place.

Earlier on Tuesday, ahead of sharing the news of his surgery, Fetterman's campaign shared a photo of him voting via an emergency absentee battle in the hospital.

In a somewhat last-minute endorsement in April, former President Donald Trump threw his support behind Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania's Republican Senate primary, citing the television doctor's popularity and compliments regarding Trump's health.

ABC News Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott was the only network reporter with Dr. Oz as he voted this morning in Pennsylvania. On his way out, Oz told Scott he's confident he will win this evening’s primary. But a last-minute surge by conservative commentator Kathy Barnette has now shaken up the race.

When Scott asked Dr. Oz about her momentum, he said, "I think that Kathy, metaphorically, had her moment in the sun."

"And I'm very proud of the president's endorsement. He said I was smart-talking -- never let you down, smart enough to understand the issues tough, tough enough to not weather in the face of criticism. When you go to bed at night, you know, I'll never let you down," he added.

"I just cast a vote for myself, which is not a humble thing to do," Oz said. "But it's what I'm humbly asking all Pennsylvanians to do to vote for someone that they know will win in the general election which is one of the main reasons President Trump endorsed me."

"He's very popular in Pennsylvania with good reason, in my opinion, but in terms of his endorsement -- of course, his endorsement matters -- but his endorsement to Mehmet Oz hasn't had much of an impact," McCormick said. "And the reason for that is much more about Mehmet Oz than it is about the president in that Mehmet doesn't have a track record."

McCormick also said the race boils down to two main issues: inflation and authenticity.

Recent polls have shown many Pennsylvania voters were still undecided leading up to primary day.
