Pennsylvania Senate Recount: Bob Casey's Last Stand Amid Court Rulings

Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania is pursuing a recount in the Senate race he lost to Republican David McCormick by over 17,000 votes, a margin triggering an automatic recount. Despite the recount, Democratic insiders doubt it will change the outcome. Controversy arose when some counties counted mail-in ballots with undated envelopes against a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling. Governor Josh Shapiro insists counties comply with the court's decision. The recount deadline is November 26, but many Democrats, including former Lieutenant Governor Mark Singel, believe Casey should concede.

"Former Bridgewater CEO Dave McCormick Secures Major Funding for Pennsylvania Senate Run"

Former Bridgewater CEO Dave McCormick, who recently announced his second run for a U.S. Senate seat from Pennsylvania, received support from a gathering of wealthy donors at a party hosted by fashion designer Tory Burch. Attendees included prominent figures from Wall Street such as Lloyd Blankfein, Steven Mnuchin, and Gary Cohn. Many of these individuals have indicated their intention to back McCormick's campaign against Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey through campaign donations or fundraising efforts. Other potential backers include Paul Singer and Steve Schwarzman. If these executives contribute to the race, it could signal a costly campaign, potentially exceeding the $350 million spent in the 2022 Senate race in Pennsylvania.

David McCormick: A Senate Run from Connecticut to Pennsylvania

David McCormick, a potential Republican candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate, is facing scrutiny over his residency. While he claims to live in Pennsylvania, public records and real estate listings indicate that he resides in Connecticut's affluent Gold Coast. McCormick's ties to Pennsylvania have been questioned, especially considering the importance of residency in the 2022 Senate race. Despite owning a home in Pittsburgh and a family farm in Bloomsburg, his luxurious Connecticut mansion raises doubts about his connection to the state. McCormick's wealth and Wall Street ties also present an opportunity for Democrats in what is expected to be a highly competitive Senate race.

Doug Mastriano opts out of Senate race.

Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano has announced that he will not run for the US Senate, opening the way for David McCormick to take on incumbent Senator Bob Casey. Mastriano's decision not to run is expected to be a relief for many Republicans who believe that his loss in the state's gubernatorial contest hurt the party in congressional and state legislature races. McCormick, who narrowly lost the state's GOP Senate primary last year, is expected to launch a second bid later this year, with establishment GOP forces lining up behind him. The Pennsylvania Senate contest is expected to be one of the most expensive on the 2024 map, with the nominee expected to need at least $100 million for the potential brawl.
