Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick made his final pitch to undecided voters in the gymnasium of his old high school Sunday night.
McCormick touted himself as a candidate who will bring more positive change to the Senate than his opponent, longtime Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who was first elected in 2007.
“This is a race between change and the status quo. I represent change. I’m a seventh-generation Pennsylvanian, West Point grad, combat vet, businessman, political outsider,” McCormick said. “I’m going there for the sole purpose of shaking things up and getting America back on track.”

The businessman also pushed back on Casey’s attempt to position himself as a moderate.
“If you look at his voting record, he’s voted 99 percent of the time with this extreme liberal agenda, including voting for males being able to compete in women’s sports,” McCormick said. “These positions may be in line with San Francisco liberal extremism, but they’re not in line with Pennsylvania.”
McCormick added that, if he wins, he would limit himself to just two terms.
“Bob Casey is a 30-year career politician … he’s the son of a high-profile governor, and he’s lived off his father’s name. … And he’s voted on these extreme liberal policies that are simply out of step with Pennsylvania,” McCormick said.
McCormick, whose wife, Dina Powell, served as the deputy national security advisor for strategy under Donald Trump, slammed Mark Cuban for claiming that Trump does not surround himself with intelligent, strong women.
“For him to say that is factually not true, because President Trump had many strong women around him,” McCormick said. “It’s also just an insult to every woman in America.”
McCormick narrowly lost Pennsylvania’s last Republican senate primary to Mehmet Oz, who went on to lose to Sen. John Fetterman.
