On Thursday, Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., conceded the race for Pennsylvania’s Senate seat to his Republican opponent, Dave McCormick. NBC News has not projected a winner yet, as the slim margins of the race triggered an automatic recount with results expected to be released next Wednesday. Casey acknowledged McCormick’s victory in a video statement and congratulated him on his election to represent Pennsylvania in the Senate. McCormick thanked Casey for his service to the state and expressed his commitment to representing all citizens of Pennsylvania. The race is still developing, and updates are expected. Megan Lebowitz, a politics reporter for NBC News, is covering the story, with contributions from Frank Thorp V and Julie Tsirkin.
