Bob Casey Concedes Pennsylvania Senate Race to Dave McCormick

Casey’s concession confirms a Republican Senate majority, ending his three-decade public service career.

Democrat Bob Casey formally conceded the Pennsylvania Senate race to Republican Dave McCormick after a recount confirmed a 16,500-vote deficit.
The outcome secures a 53-47 Republican majority in the U.S. Senate, marking a significant shift in congressional power.
Casey, a three-term senator and son of a former Pennsylvania governor, thanked voters for 28 years of public service in various roles.
McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO, highlighted his Pennsylvania roots and pledged to represent all citizens of the state in the Senate.
The race, one of Pennsylvania's closest in history, involved extensive legal battles over ballot counting and cost the state over $1 million for the recount.
