Dave McCormick, Republican candidate for Pennsylvania Senate, believes President Biden’s track record will negatively impact the campaign of incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey. Speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, McCormick emphasized that the election presents a clear choice between strength and weakness. He asserts that Biden’s policies, including high inflation, border issues, and increased fentanyl deaths, have negatively impacted Pennsylvania and will hurt Casey’s chances for reelection.
McCormick, a decorated Army veteran and former CEO of Bridgewater Associates, highlighted his own experience in government and business as a stark contrast to Casey’s record. He criticized Casey as a “do-nothing, out-of-touch, liberal, career politician” who has failed to address the concerns of Pennsylvanians.
McCormick expressed optimism about the Republican National Convention and the unity within the party, particularly following the assassination attempt on former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. He believes the convention’s messaging, centered on unity and a clear vision for the future, will resonate with voters.
McCormick is confident that Trump’s selection of Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate will further strengthen the message of unity and benefit down-ballot Senate races, particularly in Pennsylvania. He lauded Vance’s experience as a veteran, his understanding of working families, and his support for the energy industry, key issues in Pennsylvania. McCormick believes Vance’s presence on the ticket will energize voters and help secure his victory in the Senate race.
