Democrat Senator Bob Casey is refusing to concede the Pennsylvania Senate race despite trailing Republican Dave McCormick by approximately 30,000 votes. Multiple news outlets, including the Associated Press and Decision Desk HQ, have projected McCormick as the winner, and McCormick has begun attending Senate orientation in Washington. Casey insists on waiting until "every vote is counted," stating, "We gotta count the votes." The McCormick campaign describes his lead as "insurmountable" and considers a recount to be a waste of time and taxpayer money, potentially costing millions. Several commentators and political figures have called for Casey to concede, with some labeling him an "election denier." Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has welcomed McCormick among the new senators.
