Friday’s Campaign Round-Up, 11.8.24: Pennsylvania’s McCormick heads to court
Today’s installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.
* In Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race, Republican Dave McCormick has already declared victory, but as The Philadelphia Inquirer reported, he has also filed a pair of lawsuits “challenging 15,000 to 20,000 provisional ballots that city elections officials were set to consider counting this morning.” (NBC News has not yet called this race.)
* We’ve known for a few days that Donald Trump appeared on track to win Nevada, and NBC News has now called the race in the state. It’s the first time in 20 years that Nevada has backed the Republican ticket.
* In one of the nation’s most closely watched U.S. House races, Democrat Eugene Vindman has won a highly competitive congressional race in Virginia. Vindman is perhaps best known to national audiences for his role in Trump’s first impeachment scandal.
* Speaking of closely watched U.S. House races, Republican Rep. Scott Perry managed to hang on in Pennsylvania, despite his right-wing record.
* On Capitol Hill, the race to replace Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell remains competitive, and newly re-elected Sen. Rick Scott of Florida is hoping Trump will intervene on his behalf.
* In related news, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has officially launched his bid to chair the National Republican Senatorial Committee in the next Congress. At least for now, Scott has no rivals.
* And while Democrats suffered important losses in Pennsylvania this year, it also appears that the party has managed to hang on to a narrow majority in the state House. The Republican majority in the state Senate, however, remains intact.
