Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey Runs an Ad Boasting He ‘Bucked Biden’ and ‘Sided with Trump’
National Review ^ | 10/18/2024 | Jim Geraghty

A new ad for Pennsylvania Democratic senator Bob Casey features a married couple with different politics but who find common ground on the incumbent senator.

"On politics, we just don’t agree — except for Bob Casey. He’s independent. That’s right! Casey’s leading the effort to stop corporate greed-flation and price gouging. Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating."

First, don’t buy the spin that Bob Casey is some independent maverick; he voted with the Biden administration’s position 98.5 percent of the time.

Second, note Casey isn’t running ads emphasizing how much he agrees with Kamala Harris.

If you’re the Casey campaign, the only reason you run ads touting where you agree with Trump is if Trump is winning in your state, and/or the voters dislike you because they think you’re a knee-jerk partisan opponent of everything Trump does. This feels like a quiet admission by the Casey campaign that their internal numbers show Trump with

There must have been an error in the type-setting department.
“The title probably should read BACKED Biden and BLIND-Sided Trump”

It speaks to the weakness of Harris currently for at-risk Dems.

Tester is sending out fliers in Montana as well with zero mention of Kamala and zero mention of any of her “80” listed policy positions from Kam’s website.

Since the Democrat Media runs cover for Commie-La it is hard to tell what is happening. The fog of war is thick and the fog blows in from the left. In this information poor environment you have to look for the little signs that can tell you when your enemy is falling apart. These are some of those little signs.

Shows the depth of his insincerity to serve the people, as apposed to him wanting to keep his JOB AND POWER!
Amazing how he pops his head up 3 months before every election !
I hope my state sends this cuck packing!
What an embarrassment!!!!

Great ad... for President Trump.

Trump is shown for about 2 seconds at a bill signing ceremony.

And then has “Trump” in letters across the screen for about 2 seconds.

All of that in a 30 second ad.

I’m surprised the ad didn’t end with “I’m Donald Trump and I approve of this message” or words to that effect.

I checked with a friend in Western PA and he said that ad is running a lot.

The Harris campaign must be furious!

Have not confirmed, but heard on the Mark Halperin show that Casey has really distanced himself from Harris over the last two months.

The ad certainly does make one wonder what internal polls are showing in PA. For Casey to feature President Trump so prominently would seem to auger poorly for Harris.

Has merit. But Donald has a magnanimous personality. Should be interesting.

This could (possibly) be exploited by popularizing this news story / headline in deep blue areas of Pennsylvania that hate Trump and get them to leave the Senate line blank or vote third party out of anger against Casey.
