Republican David McCormick has knocked off Pennsylvania’s longest serving Democrat in the U.S. Senate — Bob Casey.

Midstate Congressman Scott Perry has survived a challenge, narrowly beating Democrat Janelle Stelson, This is his second win — since he played a role in then-President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

The Centre County Republican Committee plans to file complaints against the county’s board of elections and demand a recount of mail-in ballots.

The FBI, state police and other authorities are investigating bomb threats in a least 32 counties on election day.

An estimated 8 percent of Pennsylvanians were born in another country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Hear how immigrant-serving organizations are responding to Donald Trump’s victory.

Winter is on the way, and with colder weather comes sicknesses.  People spend more time indoors and that increases the chance to spread viruses. State health officials are encouraging Pennsylvanians to get three vaccines before the holidays.
