The 2024 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania was held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Pennsylvania. Incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey Jr. lost re-election to a fourth term, being defeated by Republican nominee Dave McCormick in what was considered a major upset.[1] The primary election took place on April 23, 2024.[2] The election was considered essential for Democrats' chances to retain their majority in 2024.[3]

The Associated Press and Fox News declared McCormick the winner on November 7,[4] while Decision Desk HQ called the race for McCormick on November 14.[5] CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS all called the race for McCormick on November 21; Casey conceded the race later that day.[6]

This was Pennsylvania's closest US Senate election since the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment, as well as the closest senate election of the 2024 cycle. Notably, the margin of just 0.22% between the Republican and Democratic candidates is less than the votes received by either the Libertarian candidate, John Thomas (1.29% of the vote), the Green candidate, Leila Hazou (0.95% of the vote), or the Constitution candidate, Marty Selker (0.34% of the vote).

This election will make Pennsylvania one of several states to have a younger senior senator (John Fetterman) and an older junior senator (McCormick).

A recount confirmed the result of the election.[7]

Background

[edit]

Pennsylvania is considered to be a purple state at the federal level, especially since in the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden carried Pennsylvania by about 1.2 percentage points. Democrats had controlled both U.S. Senate seats, the governorship, a majority of its U.S. House delegation, and the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. The last time Republicans won a U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania was in 2016.[8][9][10][11]

Senator Bob Casey Jr. was first elected in the blue wave of 2006, defeating then-incumbent Senator Rick Santorum by about 17 percentage points. He was re-elected in 2012 by 9 percentage points (when he ran ahead of Obama by almost 4 points) and in the blue wave of 2018 by 13 percentage points.[12][13][14]

The race was considered to be competitive given the state's nearly even partisan lean. Most polls showed Casey to be the slight favorite to win.[15]

Counties that flipped from Democratic to Republican

Recount

[edit]

In Pennsylvania, a statewide recount is triggered under state law if the margin falls within 0.5% of the total vote. Preliminary results for the election reached this threshold on November 13, 2024, with McCormick at 48.9% leading Casey's 48.5%, as outstanding ballots continued to be counted across the state. Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt officially ordered the recount later that evening, with Casey declining to concede.[246] The deadline for the counties to begin their recounts is on November 20, the third Wednesday after the election according to state law, however, counties can start their recounts as early as November 18, with all counties required to submit their results to the Department of State by noon on November 26 as the results must be reported by the Secretary of the Commonwealth by noon on November 27.[247] Additionally, the counties must use different machines for the recount than were used on Election Day.[248]

During the initial counting of votes, various Pennsylvania Democrats voted to illegally count mail-in ballots that had been thrown out due to missing or incorrect dates, something that is a disqualifier according to Pennsylvania state law.[249] While some lower courts have deemed this rule illegal, it was upheld by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on November 1, alongside a decision allowing provisional ballots with the same issues to be counted.[250] This was admitted by some officials, with Bucks County elections commissioner Diane-Ellis Marseglia stating that "people violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention."[251] Following the decision by certain Democratic-controlled elections boards to continue counting invalid ballots, Republicans announced several lawsuits against the counties that had chosen to do so,[252] and the decision was criticized by conservative outlets as well as the editorial board of the Washington Post.[253] On Monday, November 18 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court directed all of the state's county election officials not to count certain mail-in ballots for this year's general election that arrived on time but in envelopes without the correct dates handwritten by voters.[254][255]

The last instance of a statewide recount being held was for the 2022 Republican primary for Pennsylvania's Class 3 Senate seat, of which McCormick was also a candidate. Conversely to his stance in the 2024 general election, he unsuccessfully sued to have undated mail-in ballots counted. After completion of the recount he would concede to Mehmet Oz, with the final results expanding Oz's margin by 49 votes.[256]

Analysis

[edit]

McCormick had some benefit from Trump's coattails, but unlike Ohio and Montana, McCormick had to look beyond the Trump base, given he was running in a swing state. Casey and Trump both won Bucks, Erie, and Monroe County. McCormick campaigned with Nikki Haley, who ran as a more establishment candidate, to draw in voters who were more uneasy about Trump. Casey aired ads in late October to highlight his votes with the Trump administration, while McCormick tied Casey to Harris, highlighting his votes with the Biden administration. However, both candidates received less votes than their respective parties’ presidential candidate in the concurrent 2024 Presidential Election. [257][258]

I am casting my vote for @DustyDeevers as President and for @BradleyWPierce as Vice President. I know that both men fear the Lord and would establish justice if they were elected. I voted for some Republicans in state and local races, some third-party candidates like @JohnThomasPA who have vowed to protect the preborn, and wrote in qualified Christian men when there were no other options. None of this was necessary. I would have voted for Donald Trump or any other Republican candidate who vowed to protect the preborn and end mass child sacrifice in our nation. If the Republican Party wants evangelical votes, they cannot shirk evangelical policy priorities, and most importantly they cannot shirk their duty to obey and honor the Triune God and govern in their offices with justice and righteousness. I will not reward betrayal with my vote" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
