Contributing sentiments towards policy:
60% : In Pennsylvania, Trump appears to have won by about 2 percentage points.57% : Meanwhile, Bucks County, continuing to earn its reputation as one of the most purple counties in Pennsylvania, appears to have backed Trump and Casey.
55% : The incumbent's other problem was that Trump did better in Pennsylvania than expected.
47% : It came down to Trump, messaging, and money.
47% : In Wisconsin and Michigan, the other two "blue wall" states, Trump won by less than 1 percentage point and Democrats held onto Senate seats.
41% : But there was still hope for Casey because McCormick, who had 48.9% of the vote as of Friday afternoon, underperformed compared with Trump, who had 50.5%.
25% : This year, observers expected Casey to once again best his party's ticket, potentially allowing him to survive even if Vice President Kamala Harris lost narrowly to Trump in the Keystone State.
9% : (Conversely, Casey's aggressive attack ads on McCormick -- questioning his ties to Pennsylvania and highlighting investments McCormick's old hedge fund made in China -- might have been the reason the Republican couldn't keep up with Trump.)"

Bob Casey has changed his positions on abortion and same-sex marriage -- and why his opponent doesn't talk much about itAnother reason Casey didn't best the Democratic ticket may be that the incumbent's politics are now more aligned with his party's orthodoxy than they were when he began his Senate career as a "pro-life Democrat" who opposed new gun regulations and same-sex marriage.
