Republican David McCormick announced Thursday that he will make his second bid for U.S. Senate in swing-state Pennsylvania, this time to take on Democratic Sen. Bob Casey after losing in last year’s bruising and crowded Republican primary.
In a ballroom filled with supporters at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh, McCormick said the economy and culture of the United States had suffered under Casey and President Joe Biden.
A race between Casey and McCormick could be one of the nation's most expensive and closely watched in a year when Democrats have a difficult 2024 Senate map that requires them to defend incumbents in red states — Montana, Ohio and West Virginia — and multiple swing states. In a statement Thursday evening, Montana Sen. Steve Daines, who chairs the campaign arm of Senate Republicans and had urged McCormick to run, said McCormick had unified the party’s grassroots. He is "exactly the type of candidate" who can win in a competitive state like Pennsylvania, Daines said.
Casey spent a decade in statewide office — as auditor general then as treasurer — before going on to win three elections for Senate by no fewer than 9 percentage points each time. He served in senior positions in former President George W. Bush’s administration before moving to Connecticut to work for Bridgewater.
