Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick has criticized incumbent Bob Casey for being "too weak and too liberal" to represent the state's interests, citing his positions on issues like immigration and energy.
Pennsylvania is one of the tightest Senate contests in the nation, with incumbent Democrat Bob Casey facing a tough challenge from Republican Dave McCormick. McCormick has been a vocal critic of Casey's record, particularly his stance on immigration and energy policy.
In an interview with Fox News, McCormick accused Casey of being "too weak and too liberal" to stand up for Pennsylvania's interests. He specifically pointed to Casey's support for President Joe Biden's immigration policies, which McCormick argues have led to a surge in illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

"Bob Casey has put the interests of illegal immigrants ahead of the interests of Pennsylvanians," McCormick said. "He has supported policies that have made it easier for criminals to enter our country and for drug cartels to operate."
McCormick also criticized Casey's stance on energy, accusing him of being "out of touch" with the needs of the state. Casey has been a vocal supporter of the Biden administration's clean energy agenda, which McCormick argues has hurt the state's fossil fuel industry.

"Bob Casey is more interested in appeasing environmental activists than in helping Pennsylvania workers," McCormick said. "He has supported policies that have put thousands of Pennsylvanians out of work and driven up energy costs for families and businesses."
Casey has defended his record, arguing that he has always put the interests of Pennsylvania first. He has pointed to his work to secure funding for infrastructure projects, improve healthcare access, and support veterans.
