Democrat Bob Casey concedes Pennsylvania Senate race to Dave McCormick
Democrat Bob Casey has conceded the Pennsylvania Senate race to Republican Dave McCormick. The closely fought race saw McCormick pulling ahead in the vote count on Tuesday night, with Casey conceding defeat shortly after midnight. Casey, a two-term incumbent, had been seen as the favorite in the race, but McCormick’s strong showing in the final weeks of the campaign proved to be too much to overcome. Casey’s loss marks a significant upset and a major victory for Republicans, who now control both Senate seats in Pennsylvania.
