With 90% of the votes counted, American media announced that Fetterman will be the winner in the Pennsylvania battle with the Democratic candidate making statements about his great victory.
Oz, a celebrity with close ties to the regime of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, had poured millions of dollars into the campaign, but he trailed Fetterman in the polls throughout the campaign, even as his Democratic opponent was out due to a stoke.
