Concgresswoman Susan Wild (D) conceded Wednesday morning in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District race.

"There is no sugarcoating it: this is a bitterly disappointing outcome," she said in a statement. "I lost this election, and my opponent won. I congratulate my opponent on winning this seat, and I am going to do everything to ensure a smooth transition, because the people of this district deserve nothing less."

Wild faced state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie.

"This is how American democracy works. It's how we move forward," she added.
