Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey's campaign remains optimistic about his chances of re-election despite trailing Republican challenger David McCormick by over 50,000 votes. The campaign spokesperson emphasized the importance of counting all legal votes, especially in areas like Philadelphia where there are still outstanding ballots. The campaign is confident that once all votes are tallied, Senator Casey will secure another term in office.

As of the latest update, McCormick, a businessman, has garnered 3,307,213 votes, while Casey, a three-term incumbent and the son of a former governor, has received 3,255,237 votes. With nearly 97% of precincts reporting results in Pennsylvania, the race remains closely contested.

A potential Republican victory in Pennsylvania would further bolster the GOP's Senate majority to at least 53 seats, potentially smoothing the path for President-elect Trump's nominees to assume roles in the new administration.

Earlier projections by Fox News indicated that Trump secured victory in Pennsylvania with 50.7% of the vote, surpassing Vice President Kamala Harris, who garnered 48.4% of the vote.
