Former President Donald Trump has officially endorsed Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania, marking a significant shift in support from two years ago. McCormick, a former hedge fund executive and Gulf War combat veteran, is running unopposed in the state’s primary and will face off against Democratic Sen. Bob Casey Jr. in November.
Trump made the announcement at a rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, emphasizing McCormick’s qualifications and urging voters to support him over Casey. The Senate race in Pennsylvania is crucial for both parties, as Republicans aim to win back the majority in the chamber.
McCormick, who narrowly lost the GOP nomination in 2022, has received backing from top Republican leaders and organizations. Following Trump’s endorsement, McCormick expressed gratitude and vowed to deliver a victory for Pennsylvania and America in the upcoming election.
Trump’s visit to Pennsylvania comes as President Joe Biden embarks on a three-day swing through the state, highlighting his economic plans and contrasting them with Trump’s policies. The former president, meanwhile, faces a hush-money trial in New York City on 34 state felony charges.
As the 2024 campaign heats up, Pennsylvania remains a key battleground state where both Biden and Trump are vying for support. Stay tuned for more updates from the campaign trail and exclusive interviews on Fox News Digital’s election hub.
