Casey campaign: Votes are still being counted
Sen. Bob Casey’s (D-Pa.) campaign said in a statement posted to social media Thursday morning that votes are still being counted in his reelection race.
"The count in Pennsylvania is still continuing,” Casey campaign spokesperson Maddy McDaniel said in the statement on the social platform X. “Yesterday, the vote margin shrunk by 50,000 votes and this race is now within half a point, the threshold for automatic recounts in Pennsylvania.”
“With tens of thousands more votes to be counted, we are committed to ensuring every Pennsylvanian's vote is heard and confident that at the end of that process, Senator Casey will be re-elected."
President-elect Trump won the Keystone State with more than 50.5 percent of the vote compared to Vice President Harris’s 48.5 percent, according to Decision Desk HQ.
However, the race between Casey, the incumbent, and Republican Dave McCormick has not yet been called by Decision Desk HQ. as of 2 p.m. EST, McCormick was leading Casey with 49 percent support to the Democratic Senator’s 48.5 percent, according to Decision Desk HQ.
McCormick’s campaign said in a statement on Thursday afternoon that he “is up 30,679 votes with more to come, as ruby red Cambria County is still outstanding.”
“While votes continue to be counted, any way you slice it, Dave McCormick will be the next United States Senator from Pennsylvania," McCormick campaign communications director Elizabeth Gregory continued in the statement.
Despite Trump winning in multiple battleground states, including Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada, per projections by Decision Desk HQ, Democratic Senate candidates like Sens. Tammy Baldwin (Wis.) and Jacky Rosen (Nev.), as well as Rep. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.), pulled off narrow wins in the states in this year’s elections.
The Hill has reached out to the McCormick campaign for further comment.
