All Republican PA Senate candidates sign anti-critical race theory pledge Youngkin backed before Virginia win
Fox News
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed the same anti-CRT pledge as all five Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidates backed this week,
Many Republicans at the time lauded Youngkin as laying out a blueprint for GOP victory in 2022, especially in states that went for President Biden in 2020. The candidates' support of the pledge could be a sign Republicans will wage a similar campaign during the Pennsylvania Senate general election, which begins in a week after the state's May 17 primary.
"I believe our children should grow up learning the exceptionalism of America," McCormick told Fox News. "I am proud to take the 1776 pledge and commit to restoring honest, patriotic education in our schools that brings us together rather than tears us apart, and stand up to the liberal wokeness infiltrating all aspects of our society."
