The incredibly tight Pennsylvania race between Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Republican challenger Dave McCormick will head to a recount, Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt announced Wednesday. While provisional and mail ballots are still being counted, unofficial results show the race to be within the one-half of 1% margin to automatically trigger a recount under state law. While the Pennsylvania race is still to be declared, Republicans will have at least 52 seats in the Senate. While Vice President Kamala Harris lost all seven swing states to President-elect Donald Trump, Democratic Senate candidates narrowly held Wisconsin and Nevada along with open seats in Michigan and Arizona. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman beat Mehmet Oz, the famed television doctor, in 2022, for his first six-year term.
