Pennsylvania Senate Race Sparks Controversy Amid Tight Results

The Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race between incumbent Democrat Bob Casey and Republican Dave McCormick remains too close to call nearly a week after the 2024 election, with McCormick leading by about 40,000 votes. Despite McCormick's declaration of victory, Casey's campaign insists that 100,000 votes are still uncounted, which could potentially change the outcome. If the margin narrows to 0.5% or less, an automatic recount will be triggered. The deadline for ordering a recount is November 14, and the race's uncertainty has led to McCormick being excluded from new senator orientation.
