Republicans Secure Key Pennsylvania Senate Seat in 2024 Election

Republican Dave McCormick won the Pennsylvania Senate race, defeating Democratic incumbent Bob Casey and expanding the Republican majority in the Senate to at least 53 seats. The narrow victory, with McCormick leading by 0.4 points, may prompt a recount, but his lead of approximately 30,000 votes is expected to hold. The race was one of the most expensive in the nation, with over $300 million spent on ads. McCormick's win further strengthens Republican control in the Senate, impacting the legislative agenda.
