Fetterman won 50.2% or a total of 2,587,382 votes, while Oz won 47.4%, or 2,441,145 votes, according to The New York Times, which has 94% of reporting in.

“It’s official. I will be the next U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. We bet on the people of Pennsylvania – and you didn’t let us down. And I won’t let you down. Thank you,” Fetterman tweeted.
