REPUBLICANS WIDEN SENATE MAJORITY AFTER DEMOCRAT CONCEDES PENNSYLVANIA RACE

Democratic Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania on Thursday conceded the final outstanding Senate race of the 2024 U.S. election to his Republican opponent, widening the majority for President-elect Donald Trump's party in the upper chamber of Congress.

The Republicans will hold 53 seats in the 100-seat chamber next year. With control of the Senate, Republicans will be in a position to confirm Trump's personnel and judicial appointments, though they will still be short of the 60 votes needed to quickly advance most legislation.
