Both CNN and Fox News projected wealthy York County businessman Tom Wolf would be elected Pennsylvania’s next governor.

Just moments after the polls closed at 8 p.m., the two television news networks broadcast their projections for the Democrat would be elected.

While projections can be wrong, Wolf has lead Corbett in poll data for several months. Corbett, a Republican from the Pittsburgh area, has fought dismal approval ratings during his first term.

Wolf centered his campaign around hitting Corbett on lack of job growth and alleged cuts in education funding. The education funding claims has been widely disputed and debated.

As of 8:55 p.m., the Wolf campaign had not released a statement on the projections and had gathered supporters inside a York arena dressed with a large American flag.

Reporters on Twitter noted that Corbett’s campaign had rented a much smaller room inside a Pittsburgh hotel. 6abc tweeted that Corbett is expected to concede at 9:15 p.m.

Corbett’s running mate, Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley will also not be returning to his role in Harrisburg. Cawley, a Levittown-area resident, is a former Bucks County commissioner.

State Senator Mike Stack of Philadelphia will assume the role of lieutenant governor come inauguration.

“Overall campaign spending has broken the $70 million mark and smashed Pennsylvania’s previous campaign spending record. Despite that, pollsters expect fewer than 50 percent of registered voters will cast ballots,” the Associated Press Reported.

Wolf is owner of a building-products company based in York. The company has been in his family for decades. Wolf used his experiance in the Peach Corps and as a business owner to try to define himself as a non-politician in the gubernatorial race. Despite downplaying his political role, Wolf did serve as state revenue secretary for a portion of Gov. Ed Rendell’s time in Harrisburg.

“Corbett is the first governor to lose re-election after one term since 1970, when Pennsylvania began allowing governors to seek two consecutive terms,” according to NBC News.
