Pennsylvania officials announced on Wednesday that the Senate race between Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pennsylvania, and Republican Sen.-elect Dave McCormick has triggered an automatic recount under Pennsylvania law. The tight margin in the race led to this decision.
McCormick was projected as the winner on Nov. 7, and he has already attended new-senator orientation in Washington. Despite Casey not conceding, Republicans are projected to hold the Senate majority with 53 seats to Democrats' 47.
