A few days before the primary election, several of the Republican primary voters for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania reportedly cast their votes back from Cathy Barnett to businessman David McCormick.
Barnett beat McCormick and Mehmet Oz in the polls last week, after a viral video of his speech in the debate and his birth as a result of his mother’s rape. However, it seems that Barnett’s success was not enough to bring the voters to the finish line with him.
Barnett’s supporters apparently turned down their support for McCormick, who was ahead of both candidates even before former President Donald Trump’s support for Oz took him to the top spot.
McCormick entered the final weekend of the first season, narrowly ahead of Barnett and Oz.
After McCormick hosted an event at a winery in Altoona, Pennsylvania, some attendees left and supported him more than Barnett. Washington Auditor. Winery owners Karen and Scott Schraff confessed to Barnett, but it took McCormick to hear more from him.
Considering voting for Barnett, Miriam Schneider said attending McCormick’s event changed her mind about the entrepreneur.
“McCormick deserved my vote tonight, I’m very happy to be here,” said Schneider. Auditor.

Another competitor, Debbie Phillippi, who defines herself as “MAGA”, left the event with her main choice, Barnett, with McCormick’s newfound support.
“Wow, I mean, it all depends on this person,” said Filippi. “I wish I knew his side, I’d love to see not just all that negative publicity, but how excellent he is and, above all, how true it is for the movement, the country, and Pennsylvania.”
Katie Fortsay, another voter in Pennsylvania, agreed with Filippi. Fortsay described the incident at McCormick as a “tipping point” that moved him from Barnett to McCormick.
Fortsay said:
My turning point for him and her was that I was going to take him to a Carnegie event. I really liked Dave’s support for the Second Amendment, which is especially important in Pennsylvania. But I also like his demeanor and the fact that he’s a businessman, which is why I voted for Trump.
Michelle Damiano, who is seriously considering voting for Barnett, told reporters. Auditor He said he changed his mind after hearing McCormick speak at the event.
“I hesitated until I heard him speak, understood who he was and what his stance was, and I saw him despite the negative publicity they used in this campaign with Oz,” Damiano said.
He added that McCormick is “really inspiring” and has a “strong message”.
“If my friend hadn’t taken me to this event and seen him and his message in person, I don’t know if I would have voted for him,” Damiano continued.
The broad departure from Barnett also helps other candidates. Carla Sands’ campaign is currently being voted on the field, and in the final days of the campaign they discover a major setback from Barnett.
“The Carla Sands campaign is now on the field, proving what we see on the field, and the results are pretty much the same. Support for Barnett’s former voters has waned,” Sands campaign manager Alec Jones told Breitbart News. voters who want an America First nominee who can also take on the mandate.”
“Carla Sands is currently recruiting a large number of former Cathy Barnett voters because confidence is key in this election,” Jones said.
