 Pennsylvania's primary will cement Casey, McCormick as nominees in a battleground US Senate race
==========

Pennsylvania's primaries will determine the nominees for the high-stakes U.S. Senate race between Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Republican challenger David McCormick. The race is expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars and could help decide control of the Senate next year. Casey, seeking his fourth term, is a prominent figure in Pennsylvania's Democratic Party, while McCormick is a former hedge fund CEO who narrowly lost in the 2022 GOP primary. McCormick has consolidated party support and is backed by a super PAC that has raised over $20 million. The candidates have different positions on issues such as abortion rights, immigration, and national security. Democrats currently hold a narrow Senate majority and face a challenging 2024 Senate map. Pennsylvania's primary will also decide nominees for other statewide offices and congressional seats.
