U.S. Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. has conceded defeat to his Republican opponent in Pennsylvania’s 2024 Senate race, Wall Street hedge fund manager David McCormick. Casey’s concession comes after Pennsylvania’s 67 counties were already in the midst of a statewide recount, triggered by state law that authorizes a new tabulation of the votes in any statewide election when margin between the two leading candidates is less than 0.5 percentage points. At midnight Wednesday, McCormick’s lead of 16,367 votes equated to .24 percentage points. Early returns from counties that had completed their recounts were showing little to no change from their...

Democrat campaigns and their allies have no compunction about breaking election law to grab and keep power.Funny how the times change. Four years ago, Democrats and their pals in corporate media began painting then-President Donald Trump and Republicans who questioned the results of the troubled 2020 election as “election deniers.” Now, Democrats are doing all they can — including breaking election law — to challenge GOP victories in Iowa and Pennsylvania despite “insurmountable” odds. Even The Washington Post, part of the left’s corporate media public-relations team, sees the writing on the wall for Sen. Bob Casey, D-Penn. The entrenched incumbent...

Funny how the defenders of "democracy" behave when they do not like its results.Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, who narrowly lost his re-election bid to Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick, has refused to concede the race.Moreover, according to one report, Casey has mounted a legal challenge. "McCormick was leading by more than 30,000 votes when AP called the race at 4:09 p.m., and though there were an estimated 91,000 votes still outstanding, there were not enough in areas supporting Casey for him to make up the difference," the outlet explained.

What in the world … ?Apparently, to use Dave Wasserman‘s phrase, Adam Frisch has seen enough — even though the state of Colorado by statute has not. While his challenge to Lauren Boebert for the CO-3 race will have to undergo a mandatory recount, Frisch has decided to throw in the towel. He conceded to Boebert a few minutes ago:“The voters have spoken and while we showed great progress, I remain down by a few hundred votes. This small margin triggers an automatic recount in Colorado’s election system. This recount is what Colorado voters have asked for in order to...

A news blackout may have helped propel Biden to victory, but questions regarding the Bidens have not gone away.But he also owes his victory to the groundwork laid by Democrats and their media allies one year before, during the first impeachment of Donald Trump over his supposedly strings-attached demand that the Ukrainian government investigate alleged corruption involving Biden’s son, Hunter.The first impeachment failed to oust Trump from office, but it helped secure the White House for Biden. It shielded him from scrutiny, enabling him and his supporters to cast allegations during the campaign about dubious Biden family business ties as...

One of the lawyers heading former President Donald Trump’s defense at his second impeachment trial did what Trump himself has not: conceded Joe Biden won the presidential election. — In opening remarks Tuesday, lawyer Bruce Castor said: “The American people just spoke, and they just changed administrations.” He added that Americans are “smart enough to pick a new administration if they don’t like the old one, and they just did.” The comments by Castor, a former county prosecutor in Pennsylvania, were a surprising contrast to Trump’s defiance. The former president repeatedly disputed the results of the election, falsely claiming he...

His biography says he views the experience as one that helps him obtain the best results for the clients he...

One thing is certain. If President Trump goes down on January 6, 2020, the day Congress convenes to count Electoral College votes, he will not go down without a final fight. In a series of Saturday tweets, Trump cited the recently released report from Peter Navarro, director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, in which Navarro outlined several examples of voting irregularities, which he claimed are “more than sufficient” to swing the outcome of the election in President Trump’s favor.Navarro’s lengthy report reads in part, as reported by Washington Examiner:The 36-page report “assesses the fairness and integrity of...
