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.

UNLEARNING THE SUSTAINABLE WAY
In 2012, environmental activist Jyoti Raghavan Khanduja was returning from a family vacation in Jim Corbett National Park back to her home in Gurugram. As her car neared the Ghazipur landfill, a sharp stench sliced through the already polluted air, conjuring a dystopian image as if straight from Charles Dickens’ Hard Times. \"It was a horrendous sight. There was a monster of garbage there. It was a wake-up call to create a community of conscious children who are ready to tackle future challenges—poor waste management, rising pollution, water crisis, food shortages, labour crises and other such problems. I wanted them to be concerned for the environment right from the start,\" she says as she walks me around the vast expanse of her new community-driven school, Forest Spirit Learning, in the foothills of the forested Aravalli mountain range in Shikohpur, Gurugram.
