Bob Casey Concedes Pennsylvania Senate Race to McCormick

Democratic Senator Bob Casey has officially conceded to Republican Dave McCormick in a tightly contested Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race, decided by just 16,349 votes, or less than a quarter of a point. Casey's concession comes after weeks of uncertainty and a recount process estimated to cost over $1 million, during which he emphasized the importance of every vote being counted. In his statement, Casey expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him during his tenure and acknowledged the efforts of his team in assisting voters. McCormick responded by thanking Casey for his service and expressed his commitment to representing all Pennsylvanians in the Senate. The election, marked by high voter turnout and a close margin, reflects significant political engagement in the state. With Casey's defeat, this marks the end of his tenure in the Senate since 2007.
