A week from the election, we have bipartisan consensus on two points regarding Pennsylvania. The first is that the presidential contest is way too close to call. The second is that only one contender has coattails. Both candidates for Senate—Republican challenger Dave McCormick and Democratic incumbent Bob Casey—agree on who that is: Donald Trump. That Mr. McCormick would hitch his wagon to Mr. Trump is no surprise. But Mr. Casey is also wrapping his arms around the former president as a means of boosting his credibility. He’s doing this even as Kamala Harris is denouncing Mr. Trump as a “fascist”...

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) believes the solution to the border crisis is to open the floodgates by passing the Senate’s pro-migration border bill, he said in a Tuesday night debate with Republican Dave McCormick. Casey and McCormick spent several minutes of the heated debate sparring over immigration and border security, with Casey — and one of the moderators — spending time deriding Republicans for alleged anti-immigrant rhetoric instead of discussing policies. McCormick’s numbers surged throughout the summer, and the race is now deadlocked with McCormick trending as early voting has begun in the commonwealth. Casey touted the failed Senate bill,...

On Thursday evening, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey was destroyed by Republican challenger Dave McCormick in their first, and likely only, debate. According to a poll posted by ABC27 WHTM, viewers believe that McCormick outperformed Casey in the debate. Casey has served in the U.S. Senate since 2007. McCormick, a West Point graduate and combat veteran, is running for his seat. In the debate, Casey signaled that he would support ending the filibuster to pass legislation protecting abortion rights. This is an extreme pro-abortion stance taken by radical leftists like Vice President Kamala Harris in recent weeks, which Townhall covered....

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) highlighted how Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) and his family have engaged in “cynical self-dealing” and “graft.” Casey first ran for Senate in 2006 on a “wave of reform,” promising to “end a culture of scandal and self-dealing” in D.C. Casey then unveiled an ethics plan at the restaurant formerly owned by disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Now, Casey is fighting to get reelected for his fourth term in office, where he will face questions about his family’s relationship with his official position as senator. NBC News reported: There’s a brother who registered to lobby for...

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) on Monday decided to stick by President Joe Biden, his close ally, despite the president’s widely panned debate performance against former President Donald Trump. “He had a bad night and debate, but I think people know what’s at stake,” Casey told reporters. He contended that Keystone State voters are more concerned about leftist priorities such as abortion, labor, and voting rights, as well as the fate of “democracy.” He continued, “I’ve been at this a while, and I know his work,” Casey said. “And I also know that the American people and the people of Pennsylvania...

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Pennsylvania Democrats, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) have ties to a super PAC that former President Donald Trump’s campaign said engaged in “election interference.” Pennsylvania Values, a Democrat super PAC based out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, enflamed controversy in June when the group ran an ad telling voters to “Stand strong with President Trump Against Mail in Voting!” Author Sean Parnell called this move “brazen election interference and a direct response to what we are doing in Pennsylvania with mail-in ballots & Republican voter registration. This is NOT how President Trump feels. This is a lie....

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) allegedly used a fake phone call to avoid answering questions about hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding he secured for a Philadelphia LGBTQ center that reportedly “performs sex change surgeries on minors.” The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) shared a video on Wednesday morning of Casey ignoring questions about the funds he secured for the Mazzoni Center as he walked down the street and spoke into his phone. WATCH: @Bob_Casey fakes a phone call when asked why he gave $400k in federal funds to a controversial center that performs sex change surgeries on minors...

Former President Trump narrowly leads President Biden in both the 4-way and head-to-head ballots in Pennsylvania. • Among voters 50+, Trump leads by wider margins on both ballots, while voters 18-49 are closely divided. Within voters 50+, Trump has a sizable lead with 50- 64 year olds, but the race is very close among seniors. • On the 4-way ballot, 19% of voters 18-49 either choose a third-party candidate or are undecided compared to just 10% of voters 50+. Biden improves among younger voters when the third-party options are removed. • Trump is ahead in large part due to more...

Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey (D), who is fighting for his U.S. Senate seat in 2024 against Republican candidate David McCormick, joined President Joe Biden in declaring Easter Sunday “Transgender Day of Visibility.” “I’m proud to recognize Transgender Day of Visibility and support all those who are living as their authentic selves. I’ll always fight to make sure that trans and nonbinary kids, students, and adults are protected and respected in America,” Casey posted on X.

President Joe Biden and Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) hold slight leads over former President Donald Trump and businessman Dave McCormick in general election match-ups in Pennsylvania, according to a poll. The Susquehanna Polling and Research poll, published Monday, found Biden with a five-point lead over Trump in a two-way presidential race. He registered 50 percent of support to Trump’s 45 percent. Another four percent of respondents were unsure who they would back, and one percent preferred someone else. Here is a screen shot of SP&R's last two polls in the PA POTUS race – Trump is down by 5 which...

Law enforcement called the anti-police Pennsylvania Indivisible’s endorsement of Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) “alarming and extremely dangerous” on Wednesday. Indivisible Pennsylvania hosted a campaign event with Casey on Tuesday, and the anti-police organization endorsed Casey in a statement on Wednesday. Christine Adams of Indivisible Outcry in Clarion County said, “In his [Casey’s] nearly two decades in office, he has demonstrated his commitment to the values that guide the membership of Pennsylvania Indivisible — justice, inclusion, compassion, and equity. Senator Casey is deeply committed to defending our rights and our freedoms.”

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) has been criticized by conservatives for opposing measures that would crack down on illegal immigration as the Keystone State experiences a “surge” of illegal immigrant crime. Sean Parnell, a conservative who previously ran for Senate, shared a news report about how illegal alien gangs are stealing “large quantities of merchandise” from across the state. Parnell noted that Casey in 2021 opposed a measure ensuring that illegal alien criminals would not be granted amnesty.

Republican David McCormick is on the verge of clinching the GOP nomination for one of the most competitive Senate races in the 2024 cycle, with a Tuesday filing deadline in Pennsylvania and no challengers in sight. Why it matters: McCormick's challenge to Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) is expected to be one of the most expensive and competitive races this year — in a swing state that could determine control of the Senate and the presidency. • McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO, was the runner-up in 2022's Senate GOP primary in Pennsylvania, losing to Trump-backed celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz. •...

During a Fox News interview, the Florida governor’s wife, Casey DeSantis asks voters from all over America to descend on Iowa and caucus in support of Ron. Casey remarks, “You do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the Caucus.” You cannot legally caucus vote for a candidate in Iowa without being an Iowa resident. Notice how Ron just sits there and lets Casey say something that is transparently false. Martha MacCallum just sits there like a potted plant on behalf of Fox News. Unreal.

International Man: With nearly $10 trillion in assets under management (AUM), BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager. The company exploded in size after the 2008 financial crisis, and that’s no coincidence. Central banks around the world have printed scores of trillions since then. A significant portion of that freshly created money eventually found its way into the stock market, specifically BlackRock’s exchange-traded funds (ETFs). BlackRock was also responsible for helping the Federal Reserve manage its massive debt portfolio after 2008. It’s another indication of BlackRock’s cozy relationship with the government. BlackRock is a good illustration of the Cantillon Effect—those...

In a hypothetical 2024 general election matchup between President Biden and former President Trump, 47 percent of all registered voters support Trump, while 45 percent support Biden.

Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) holds an early 6-point lead over Republican David McCormick in Pennsylvania’s Senate contest, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. Less than a month after McCormick jumped into the race to challenge the incumbent, Casey leads with 50 percent of registered voters in the state to McCormick’s 44 percent, according to the new polling. Nearly 9 in 10 Republicans back McCormick, while 96 percent of Democrats back Casey. Independents were split roughly half-and-half, with 45 percent for the Republican and 44 percent for Casey.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on Thursday endorsed “proven patriot” and Pennsylvania businessman Dave McCormick’s bid to unseat Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA). Blackburn said in a written statement obtained by Breitbart News that McCormick would serve as a champion of limited government. She explained: I am honored to endorse Dave McCormick, a proven patriot and freedom fighter for conservative values. He will stand strong against the Left’s radical agenda. Dave knows that limited government is not only necessary to ensure liberty over tyranny, but it also reveals the true might of the individual. He is ready to reverse overreaching government. Pennsylvania’s...

Democrat Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) is one of the latest calling on Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) to resign following federal allegations of bribery, doing so days after Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), his junior, and right as another Democrat has launched a primary challenge against him. “Public service is a sacred trust,” Casey, whose seat could be vulnerable in the 2024 election, wrote in a statement on Monday. “The specific allegations set forth in the federal indictment indicate to me that Senator Menendez violated that trust repeatedly,” Casey continued. “While he is entitled to the presumption of innocence, serving in public...
