The unofficial results to the United States Senator vote are now official as Republican Dave McCormick has defeated Democrat Bob Casey, two days after Election Day. However, according to a statement from Casey, he will not concede as over one hundred thousand votes still need to be counted. The 59-year-old McCormick gives Republicans control of the Senate after winning the position. With votes still being counted, McCormick led Casey by about 31,000 votes, or half a percentage point. It was McCormick’s second time running, this time with a clear primary and with President Trump’s endorsement, after he lost narrowly to the President Trump-endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz in 2022’s expensive seven-way primary. McCormick was also an Army veteran and the former CEO of the world’s largest hedge fund.
