GOP widens Senate majority to 53, picks up another House seat
The Morning Standard|November 09, 2024
DAVID McDavid McCormick won Pennsylvania's pivotal US Senate race, giving Republicans party its 53rd seats in the upper chamber.

The victory pads Republicans' majority in the Senate, which they wrested from Democratic control this week, and clocked in as the nation's second-most expensive race while playing out alongside the presidential contest won by Donald Trump in the nation's premier battleground state.

McCormick, 59, recaptured a GOP seat in Pennsylvania after Republicans lost one in 2022, paying off a bet that party brass made when they urged McCormick to run and consolidated support behind him.

In an interview on Fox News, the Trump-endorsed McCormick said "people want change."

"They're deeply distressed by the skyrocketing prices, the wide-open border, the crime in our cities, the war on fossil fuels, and they want change and common-sense leadership and that's why I think they elected President Trump," McCormick said.
