Update: Mehmet Oz wins:

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- David McCormick concedes to Dr. Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania's GOP Senate race, says he can't make up deficit in recount.

Soros DA George Gascon has given a "teen" just five months in a probationary camp for running down a mother and her 8-month-old son.

A California teen convicted of plowing a car into a mother and her 8-month-old son will spend just five months in a diversionary program thanks to Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, according to the woman who survived the crash.

Despite shocking surveillance video of the Aug. 6, 2021, incident, numerous eyewitnesses and initial felony charges, the teen will serve his sentence at a "juvenile probation camp," an alternative sentence less severe than juvenile detention.

"I thought those were the last moments of our lives; we were dead," the mother, who asked to be identified only as Rachel, wrote in a victim's impact statement. "That feeling, along with the memory of a car accelerating directly into us, will haunt me forever."

...

Gascon's office called the final sentence of five to seven months in youth camp "an appropriate resolution."

Another Pennsylvania update: The Democrat gubernatorial candidate's doctor has revealed he does have an underlying heart issue, an irregular heartbeat and cardiomyopathy. The latter is a shrinkage in the muscle of the heart resulting in a decreased work ("pump") capacity.

The pacemaker ("implant") is there to correct his irregular heartbeat.

He hasn't been campaigning since he had the stroke -- which he suffered due to blowing off the doctor and the doctor's advice for five years -- and Democrats are looking to swap him out for the man he beat in the primaries, Connor Lamb.

If the rules allow it. Or if he dies.

Now, I'm not an expert, but I believe they install the pacemaker when you have the "widowmaker" type irregular heartbeat. Some irregular heartbeats are no big deal. One irregular heartbeat will kill you without warning. Pretty sure that's the one they install the pacemaker for.
