Casey’s opponent, Dave McCormick, spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month. Their race will help determine the balance of power in the Senate.
With Harris and Walz now at the top of the ballot, McCormick told NBC News, the change after Biden’s departure from the race “crystallized the choice,” saying, “This is a race between what I believe the strength and weakness but also a common-sense practical set of policies to get our country back on track versus a very liberal agenda. A very San Francisco liberal agenda.”
McCormick said he never thought this race was going to be easy, saying, “This is going to be tough … but I’m optimistic we’re going to win.”
“I see enormous energy among people who aren’t just Republicans but independents, Democrats, and the reason I say that is because these problems that we have — sky-high inflation, wide-open border, fentanyl crisis, crime — these are not just Republican problems,” McCormick said. “They are Republican problems, independent problems, Democratic problems. And I think they’re mobilizing the people to think this election really matters.”
Casey told NBC News this week, “I think every candidate and every campaign has gotten a great lift” from having Harris and Walz at the top of the ticket.
