Senator Bob Casey, a three-term Democrat from Pennsylvania long seen as an institution in state politics, was defeated on Thursday by his Republican challenger, the former hedge-fund executive David McCormick, in a stunning upset in one of the nation’s top Senate races.
Mr. Casey conceded on Thursday shortly before The New York Times called the race for Mr. McCormick, whose lead of less than half a percentage point had triggered a recount. As Republicans looked to add Pennsylvania to their win column after seizing control of the Senate, the post-election period set off a legal battle between the two sides.
