| 0:00.0 | This is CBS, I on the World. I'm John Batchel. Bob Casey, long-time political life in Pennsylvania, my home state. |
| 0:09.2 | Bob Casey has stepped away from the Senate and conceded victory to a man named David McCormick, who once jumped out of an airplane over Gettysburg, and his shoot didn't initially open, and his parents were watching. |
| 0:22.0 | But now he's the senator-elect from the Keystone State, and I welcome the chronicler of the |
| 0:27.7 | Keystone State, Selina Zito, of the Washington Examiner and the Wall Street Journal, |
| 0:32.2 | to help us understand the delay in Mr. Casey's conceding to Mr. McCormick and what it reveals about our home state, |
| 0:40.6 | especially in the east, the color counties. |
