On Saturday, during a campaign rally in the eastern Pennsylvania town of Schnecksville, former President Donald Trump threw his support behind Republican Senate candidate David McCormick. Trump urged his supporters to “Go out and vote for him” in what promises to be one of 2024’s closely watched Senate races.
Trump told rally-goers:
He’s a good man. He wants to run a good ship. He’s a smart guy. He was a very successful guy. He’s given up a lot to do this.
Trump also had some choice words for Pennsylvania’s incumbent Democrat Senator Bob Casey on his birthday, telling voters, “Casey doesn’t do a damn thing.”
Trump’s endorsement of McCormick turns the page on a contentious dynamic between the two, as Trump previously endorsed Dr. Mehmet Oz in 2022 during a crowded primary for a seat left open by Republican Senator Pat Toomey, sinking McCormick’s candidacy.
