 McCormick gets Trump's endorsement in Pennsylvania's Senate race despite awkward history
==========

Former President Donald Trump has endorsed U.S. Senate candidate David McCormick of Pennsylvania, urging his supporters in the state to "go out and vote for him" in one of the year's most hotly contested Senate races. This endorsement comes two years after Trump helped sink McCormick in Pennsylvania's Senate GOP primary, creating an awkward history between the two men. McCormick, a former CEO of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, is trying to unseat Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, who is seeking his fourth term. McCormick had sought Trump's endorsement in 2022 but refused to say the 2020 election was stolen, leading to Trump endorsing another candidate and repeatedly criticizing McCormick on the campaign trail.
