Republican David McCormick has won Pennsylvania’s pivotal U.S. Senate seat, beating three-term Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. The victory pads Republicans’ majority in the Senate, which they wrested from Democratic control this week. The 59-year-old McCormick was CEO of the world’s largest hedge fund and served in former President George W. Bush’s administration. Casey is the son of a former two-term governor and Pennsylvania’s longest-serving Democrat in the Senate. It was McCormick’s second time running. He lost narrowly in 2022’s seven-way GOP primary. Casey isn't conceding and is pointing to a statement from the state’s top election official that at least 100,000 ballots still remained to be counted.
