The race for the U.S. Senate seat from Pennsylvania just took a turn that should have the left scrambling for cover. Republican David McCormick, a combat veteran and former hedge fund CEO, is proposing a bold strategy to combat the fentanyl crisis: military action in Mexico. Now, this isn’t the usual campaign chatter about better funding for schools or infrastructure; this is about sending in drones and special operations teams to take out the cartels that are flooding America with this deadly drug. Talk about a game-changer!
McCormick’s campaign, aimed at flipping the Senate seat currently held by Democrat Bob Casey, is focusing heavily on the fentanyl epidemic, which he dubs the biggest killer in the U.S. He points out that with about 110,000 overdose deaths annually—many attributed to fentanyl—this crisis demands a decisive response. Unlike career politicians who talk a big game, McCormick is advocating action rather than knee-jerk policy proposals that ultimately do nothing. Why wait for Mexico’s government to get its act together when American lives are at stake?

While some critics might raise red flags about the legality and practicality of sending troops into a neighboring country, McCormick’s vision is straightforward: use military resources selectively to dismantle the drug cartels’ operations. The left is absolutely losing their minds over it, given their tendency to coddle foreign governments instead of protecting American lives. And let’s face it, after years of hand-wringing over immigration and drug enforcement, it’s about time someone offered a practical, albeit unconventional, solution.
Of course, the naysayers—and there will always be naysayers—draw parallels to previous military interventions, claiming that such actions would lead to diplomatic fallout with Mexico. But if the Mexican government won’t cooperate in addressing its fentanyl production, maybe it’s time for a new approach. If the U.S. military can engage in complex operations abroad, why not use those same strategies to shut down cartel activity that endangers American citizens?
As the race heats up, it’s clear that McCormick’s idea is gaining traction among Republicans who feel that the traditional methods of tackling drug trafficking simply aren’t cutting it. His position not only sets him apart from his opponents but also raises the bar for what a real solution to the fentanyl crisis might look like. McCormick is betting that Pennsylvanians are ready for a fighter in Washington who prioritizes American lives over the whims of foreign governments. Get ready for a Tough-On-Drugs mindset that might just take Pennsylvania, and potentially the nation, by storm.
