In the Pennsylvania GOP Senate battle to prove who’s most loyal to Donald Trump, David McCormick just scored a small victory.

A pro-Dr. Oz super PAC has overhauled an attack ad after McCormick’s campaign complained that it had lied in saying that the former president had fired him.

“The ad’s claim about Trump firing McCormick is totally false. Moreover, McCormick’s positions on China are in sync with Trump’s,” McCormick’s team wrote in a letter to television station managers, which was first obtained by POLITICO.

The original TV spot said that McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO running against celebrity physician Mehmet Oz for the GOP Senate nomination in Pennsylvania, “criticized President Trump’s China policy — no wonder Trump fired him.” An all-caps chyron on the screen blasted “PRESIDENT TRUMP TO McCORMICK: YOU’RE FIRED.”
