Live Results: Trump is projected winner of Pennsylvania, U.S. Senate race still uncalled
PHILADELPHIA - Donald Trump is the projected winner of Pennsylvania, a victory that positions him to become the 47th President of the United States.
Trump, 78, recaptured the swing state he lost to President Joe Biden in the last election and won over Hillary Clinton in 2016
Trump's campaign in Pennsylvania turned a corner when the former president narrowly dodged an assassin's bullet while he addressed supporters gathered in Butler.
A bloodied Trump raised his fist after being surrounded by Secret Service members and mouthed ‘Fight! Fight!’ to the crowd in a now-infamous moment in U.S. history.

Trump and Harris met for a presidential debate for the first and only time in Philadelphia. Trump had previously debated President Joe Biden before he dropped out.
With Election Day nearing, Trump worked behind the counter at a Bucks County McDonald's as a jab at Harris, who claimed she used to work for the fast food chain.
Pennsylvania voters also picked between Bob Casey and David McCormick in the race for Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate seat. Casey, the incumbent who has won his last three re-election bids, is considered the favorite, but experts say the Trump-backed McCormick figures to put up the "strongest challenge" for Casey’s seat.
President: Kamala Harris (D) vs. Donald Trump (R)
Trump won Pennsylvania early Wednesday morning, a victory that positioned him to retake the White House as the 47th president.
Pennsylvania was considered by many as the swing state that could determine the outcome of the election, with 19 electoral college votes owed to the winner.
Trump previously won Pennsylvania in 2016, and lost it to President Biden in 2020.
Pennsylvania, a part of the once-reliable Democratic stronghold known as the "blue wall" with Michigan and Wisconsin, was carried by Trump when he first won the White House in 2016 and then flipped back to Democrats in 2020. Trump also flipped Georgia, which had voted for Democrats four years ago, and retained the closely contested state of North Carolina.

U.S. Senate: Bob Casey (D) vs. David McCormick (R)
David McCormick has been elected to the U.S. Senate, unseating longtime Sen. Bob Casey and marking another Republican win in the swing state, AP reports.
The race was called nearly 48 hours after polls closed in Pennsylvania, but razor-thin margins made it too close to declare a winner as vote counting continued.
McCormick entered Thursday leading by .4 percent with 98% of the ballots counted. They hoped ongoing vote counting in Cambria County would tip the scales.
Casey has not conceded the election, saying in a statement that there are "tens of thousands of ballots across the Commonwealth still to count."
"This race is within half a point and cannot be called while the votes of thousands of Pennsylvanians are still being counted," a statement read.
U.S. House
U.S. House races were called by the Associated Press for representatives Brandan Boyle, Dwight Evans, MAdeleine Dean, and Mary Gay Scanlon.
Scanlon and Dean were each running for their fourth terms in Delaware and Montgomery counties, two democratic strongholds just outside of Philadelphia.
Boyle, a former state lawmaker, earned a sixth term in his heavily Democratic district in Philadelphia.
