McCormick Wins PA Senate Seat Amid Recount and Legal Challenges

Republican Dave McCormick is projected to win the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate seat, defeating incumbent Democrat Bob Casey Jr., though a statewide recount is expected due to ongoing ballot disputes. Casey has not conceded, with his campaign alleging voter disenfranchisement by McCormick's allies. McCormick, endorsed by Donald Trump, previously lost a Senate primary in 2022 and campaigned on GOP-aligned issues such as border security and energy policy. Despite Casey's significant fundraising advantage, the race remains contentious in the battleground state.
