Pa.'s primary election will cement Casey, McCormick as nominees in battleground U.S. Senate race
==========
The Pennsylvania primary election on April 23, 2024, will determine the nominees for the U.S. Senate race between Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey and Republican challenger David McCormick. Casey, seeking his fourth term, is a prominent figure in Pennsylvania politics and a member of the Democratic Party. McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO, lost narrowly in the 2022 GOP primary and has consolidated support for his candidacy this time. The Senate race is expected to be highly competitive and could impact control of the Senate. Democrats currently hold a narrow majority. McCormick's opposition to abortion rights, his ties to Connecticut's wealthy Gold Coast, and his past investments in China have been criticized by Democrats. Casey has focused on attacking corporate greed and rising prices, while McCormick has accused Casey of supporting harmful policies on immigration, the economy, energy, and national security. The primary election will also decide nominees for other statewide offices and U.S. House seats in Pennsylvania.
