Sen. Bob Casey Faces Pressure to Concede After Election Defeat
Despite a significant lead by Republican Dave McCormick, Bob Casey continues to challenge the election results in Pennsylvania.
- Dave McCormick has been declared the winner of the Pennsylvania Senate race, leading by over 35,000 votes.
- Sen. Bob Casey has not conceded, citing the need to count remaining provisional and overseas ballots.
- Casey's refusal to concede is seen by some as an attempt to raise funds and possibly challenge the results in court.
- The Associated Press and multiple sources have called the race for McCormick, with a margin just over the automatic recount threshold.
- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer initially withheld McCormick's invitation to Senate orientation, but later relented.
