Pennsylvania's high-stakes U.S. Senate contest will pit Casey against McCormick ========== Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Republican challenger David McCormick will face each other in Pennsylvania’s high-stakes U.S. Senate contest this fall. Casey, seeking his fourth term, is Pennsylvania’s best-known politician and a stalwart of the Democratic Party. McCormick is a former hedge fund CEO and a Pennsylvania native who spent $14 million of his own money in a previous Senate race. McCormick has consolidated the party around his candidacy and is backed by a super PAC that’s already reported raising more than $20 million. The Senate candidates will share a ticket with candidates for president in a state that is critical to whether Democrats can maintain control of the White House and the Senate. #Pennsylvania #UsSenate #BobCasey #DavidMccormick #Election https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/pennsylvanias-high-stakes-u-s-senate-contest-will-pit-casey-against-mccormick
