Republican Dave McCormick launches bid for vulnerable Senate seat in battleground state
Fox News
Republican Dave McCormick launched his second straight bid for the Senate in battleground Pennsylvania, giving the GOP the candidate they wanted as they try to win the majority back
His announcement gives national and state Republicans a high-profile candidate with the ability to self finance. McCormick had been courted to run against longtime Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. — a race that could ultimately decide whether the GOP wins back the Senate majority in 2024.
"I have total faith and confidence in the people of Pennsylvania," McCormick said, but he stressed the need for leadership in Washington, D.C. "That is why today, I am announcing my candidacy for the United States Senate," McCormick said as he launched his Senate bid at Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh.
