As per\u200b the Pennsylvania Department of\u2062 State, McCormick holds a narrow lead of just 29,338 votes (0.43%) over Casey, which falls within the recount threshold of 0.5%. Although the Associated Press declared McCormick the winner with 99% of ballots counted, Casey,\u2064 who has\u200d not\u2062 conceded, asserts that the results were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illinois-democrats-at-odds-over-migrant-crisis-in-chicago\/\" title=\"Illinois Democrats divided on Chicago&#039;s migrant crisis\">prematurely announced<\/a>.

A recount will be a waste of time and taxpayer money, but it is Senator Casey&rsquo;s prerogative.

It also marks the second time in two years that he has been subjected to a recount.
