Surging McCormick Says Casey ‘Could Not Think Of A Single Thing’ Where Casey Differed From Kamala

 Pennsylvania GOP senatorial candidate Dave McCormick discussed his recent surge in the polls, placing him within striking distance of incumbent Democrat Senator Bob Casey.

One month ago, McCormick trailed Casey by eight points, but a New York Times/Siena poll released Saturday found him only trailing by four points, while a Rasmussen poll released Monday found him only trailing by two points.

McCormick referred to the surge that has seen the numbers for himself and former President Donald Trump rise, saying, “The more people see Kamala Harris in person, the more they realize she’s not ready to be President and that she supports a set of extreme policies [like] banning fracking, mandatory buybacks of guns, citizenship for illegal immigrants. That’s just out of touch with Pennsylvania, and in my case, the race is shaping up. Everybody can see now it’s between a seventh-generation Pennsylvanian, an outsider, a business guy, someone who went to West Point and served in combat, versus a guy who’s been in elected office for 30 years and has been weak in a 99% vote for these liberal policies. The more they learn as voters, the better.”

 

McCormick spoke of a recent ICE memo which he said stated, “25,000 convicted murderers and convicted rapists have been knowingly let loose in our country. It just reinforced what Pennsylvanians knew, which is we’re certainly seeing illegal immigrant violent crime, we’re seeing violent crime, in general at very high levels in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and moving into the suburbs, and people don’t feel safe,” he declared. “I think that’s the main reason that the Fraternal Order of Police has endorsed me; 44,000 men and women in blue who previously endorsed Senator Casey, they switched because they’re feeling like the Defund the Police [movement] and the lack of support for law enforcement is really standing in the way of law and order in our communities.”

“Bob Casey has been a sure vote for her,” McCormick said of Casey essentially rubberstamping Harris’ far-Left policies. “He was asked the other day whether there is anything he could think of that he disagreed with Kamala Harris on. He could not think of a single thing. This is the opposite of a strong independent leader for Pennsylvania in the Senate, and that’s the real contrast. … People want change.”
