The Cook Political Report made two Senate race shifts with about two weeks until Election Day.
In Pennsylvania, the race between incumbent Casey and Republican challenger Dave McCormick is now considered a "Toss Up," according to the handicapper. The battle was previously rated "Lean Democrat." Julia Johnson is a politics writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business, leading coverage of the U.S. Senate.

Cook cited McCormick "shoring up the GOP base and making gains in the western part of the state," as part of its justification. It also noted that while Casey has a several point advantage over his opponent in public polls, the race is reportedly within the margin of error in both Democratic and Republican internal surveys.
