Driving the news: The procedure was successful and the senator's doctor said he should not require further treatment, per a statement from Casey's spokesperson.
What they're saying: "Senator Casey and his family appreciate the well-wishes and extraordinary support from every corner of the Commonwealth, and he looks forward to getting back to a normal schedule after a period of rest and recovery," the statement reads.
