Democrat John Fetterman wiped back tears in an emotional speech after beating Dr Oz at the polls.
The projection gave Fetterman a lead that overturns a Republican-held Senate seat and marked a huge victory for Democrats.
After the race was called, a stunned-looking Fetterman addressed cheering supporters at a concert venue in Pittsburgh, telling them:"I'm not really sure what to say right now, my goodness." "I am so humbled, thank you so much. It's like 01.30 in the morning and you're still here hanging in," the Democrat said, wiping away tears.
He continued:"We jammed them up. We held the line ... I never expected that we were going to turn these red counties blue, but we did what we needed to do."
