The Associated Press called the Pennsylvania Senate race for Dave McCormick Thursday. It's a stunning upset. Here's how he did it.
The race could still go into a recount, but McCormick’s apparent victory is a seismic change in Pennsylvania politics.
Christopher Nicholas, a veteran Pennsylvania Republican strategist, said that Casey’s popularity had been falling for months and that McCormick, a former hedge fund executive with ample money behind him, was well-positioned to take advantage. This year, observers expected Casey to once again best his party’s ticket, potentially allowing him to survive even if Vice President Kamala Harris lost narrowly to Trump in the Keystone State.
Casey had better margins than Harris in several postindustrial areas like Lackawanna County, which includes Casey’s hometown of Scranton. Overall, Casey is poised to win 12 of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. But his share of the vote decreased in every county compared with his most recent reelection campaign in 2018, a strong year for Democrats.One reason Casey might not have outrun Harris is that McCormick worked relentlessly to tie Casey to the vice president.
