Casey urges patience in vote-counting for Pa. U.S. Senate race as McCormick returns to Connecticut
Source: Pennsylvania Capital-Star
After the Associated Press called the race in his favor, GOP U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick gave a victory speech in Pittsburgh on Friday, thanking incumbent Sen. Bob Casey for his service to Pennsylvania and urging him to concede.
I also recognize what its like to lose a close election, McCormick said Friday, pointing to Pennsylvanias 2022 GOP U.S. Senate primary, where he lost to Mehmet Oz by less than 1,000 votes. We knew on election night we had won, because the math was clear and theres no way for Senator Casey to win, and the AP certainly recognized that yesterday by calling the race.
But on Saturday morning, as ballots continued to be counted that could determine whether he would be Pennsylvanias next U.S. Senator, McCormick flew to Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Casey hammered McCormick for his Connecticut connection throughout the campaign, repeatedly pointing to an August 2023 AP article which maintained that the former hedge fund CEO continued to live in Connecticut even as he sought to represent the people of Pennsylvania.
