Republican Dave McCormick Wins Pennsylvania Senate Race as Bob Casey Concedes

Incumbent U.S. Senator Bob Casey has conceded the Pennsylvania Senate race to Republican challenger Dave McCormick after a close contest that triggered a statewide recount. McCormick's victory, confirmed by a narrow margin of 0.24 percentage points, marks the end of Casey's 18-year Senate tenure and a significant era for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. McCormick's win contributes to a Republican majority in the Senate for the upcoming session. Casey emphasized the importance of counting every legal vote in his concession statement.
