Two Weeks Post-Elections, Some High-Profile Candidates in Congressional Races Refuse to Concede Their Races

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey is among the few Senate candidates who has not yet conceded his race. While he is not questioning the race's integrity, he says the contest is still too close to call. The race is also expected to trigger an automatic recount since his opponent, Dave McCormick, led by less than 0.5 percentage points. (Credit: Getty Images)

It's been two weeks since President-elect Donald Trump was elected back to White House on Election Day, helping Republicans win big and achieve a red trifecta, not only occupying the presidency, but also the House of Representatives and the Senate. But as Republicans continue their victory laps and celebrations across the country, some GOP candidates— and even some Democrats— who lost their respective bids say the fight isn't over yet.

Election denialism is nothing new for Republicans. In fact, throughout the Trump era, the GOP— largely fueled by Trump himself— have become much more comfortable with calling foul and trying to undo their losses. Those efforts were most widely seen during the 2020 elections, when the Trump team filed dozens of lawsuits across the country, almost all of which were struck down, claiming that the contest was rigged. Those claims would eventually lead to the Capitol Insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, leaving six people dead within 36 hours.
