In an exciting turn of events, veteran and successful businessman Dave McCormick has officially announced his candidacy for the Senate, where he will be challenging the incumbent Democrat, Sen. Bob Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania. With an upcoming Senate race that seems promising for Republicans, McCormick’s entry into the political arena is a breath of fresh air for conservatives who seek to restore common sense and conservative values.
McCormick, who previously ran for the Senate seat last year but narrowly lost to the unorthodox Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz, is wasting no time in highlighting the numerous failures brought upon by President Joe Biden and his administration. In a powerful announcement video posted on X, McCormick fearlessly addresses the issues that have plagued our nation, including skyrocketing inflation, rising gas prices, increasing violent crime, and the record-breaking influx of illegal border crossings. It’s clear that McCormick understands the urgent need for change and is ready to be the fighter that Pennsylvania deserves.
One of the highlights of McCormick’s announcement video is the appearance of current Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat, who represents everything that conservatives oppose. This symbolic presence goes to show that McCormick is unafraid to confront the opposition head-on and fight for the conservative values that have made America the greatest nation in the world. It’s time for a real leader who is willing to take a stand against the disastrous policies implemented by the Biden administration.
It’s worth noting that McCormick has gained overwhelming support from fellow Republicans in Pennsylvania, including endorsements from all Republican members of Congress from the state. This impressive lineup includes Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, Dan Meuser, Scott Perry, Lloyd Smucker, John Joyce, Guy Reschenthaler, Mike Kelly, and Glenn Thompson. These endorsements speak volumes about McCormick’s credibility and his ability to unite conservatives in the fight for a better Pennsylvania.
I’m thrilled to announce my run to represent the people of Pennsylvania in the United States Senate!
This race is a choice between a Pennsylvania success story and a rubberstamp for Biden’s failures. I look forward to earning your vote. ??https://t.co/EnN8VQtKiv pic.twitter.com/aL2x5ZE7eX

Even State Sen. Doug Mastriano, who initially contemplated a Senate run himself, has chosen to endorse McCormick. Mastriano, a previous Republican gubernatorial candidate, recognizes McCormick as the true Republican voice capable of ushering in a new era of effective leadership. Both Dr. Oz and Mastriano, who were endorsed by former President Donald Trump in their previous campaigns, acknowledge McCormick’s commitment to conservative principles.
With the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman Steve Daines expressing his enthusiasm for McCormick’s candidacy, it’s evident that the Republican Party has faith in his ability to bring about positive change. The NRSC has even released an ad highlighting Sen. Casey’s close ties to the controversial policies championed by President Biden. It’s clear that Pennsylvania Republicans are rallying behind McCormick as the candidate who can effectively challenge the Democratic incumbent.
While forecasters may currently favor the Democrats in this race, it’s essential to remember that it’s still early in the campaign. A recent poll conducted by National Public Affairs reveals that McCormick, as a generic Republican candidate, is virtually tied with Sen. Casey, with 41 percent to Casey’s 39 percent. With 20 percent of voters still undecided, there is tremendous potential for McCormick to build momentum and secure victory for conservatives.
Dave McCormick’s entry into the Pennsylvania Senate race presents a compelling opportunity for conservatives to rally behind a candidate who understands the true essence of American values. His determination to confront the failures of the Biden administration and his overwhelming support from Pennsylvania Republicans demonstrate that McCormick is the fighter needed to secure a brighter future for our great state. It’s time to reassert conservative principles and change the course of history. Let’s unite behind Dave McCormick and reclaim Pennsylvania for the conservatives!
