Pennsylvania Democratic Senator Bob Casey refuses to concede his race to Republican Dave McCormick, even though U.S. media outlets have called the race.
Democrat Sen. Bob Casey Jr. still refuses to concede his race against Republican Dave McCormick, even though The Associated Press and other media outlets have called the race in McCormick's favor. In a new video message, the three-term incumbent Casey said the democratic process 'will play out' once all the votes are counted. As of early Tuesday afternoon, McCormick was leading Casey by 34,561 votes, according to Pennsylvania's election results website.
McCormick declared victory in Pittsburgh on Friday, thanking Casey and his family for their decades of service to the commonwealth. McCormick said that Casey and his namesake father – a pro-life moderate who served as governor in the 1980s and 1990s – deserve a lot of respect for 'serving …. with honor.' The younger Casey has served three terms since defeating conservative Sen. Rick Santorum in 2006.
McCormick will attend new senator orientation in the nation's capital this week. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., initially said McCormick was not welcome at the orientation due to there still being votes left to be counted, even though the AP had already projected him as the winner. Schumer eventually relented, saying Tuesday morning that the Republican is invited to participate. Fox News Digital's Danielle Wallace and Kelley Phares contributed to this report.
