Bob Casey in a closely-watched Pennsylvania race. The Associated Press (AP) called the race for McCormick, who was leading by a little more than 30,000 votes. Casey released a statement on X, formerly Twitter, after the AP’s call, pointing to some 100,000 votes he said have yet to be counted. McCormick told The Ingraham Angle Thursday he believes he was elected because voters "want change."
