Former President Donald Trump, initially hesitant to endorse Republican Dave McCormick for the Pennsylvania Senate seat, officially backed him at a rally in Schnecksville. McCormick, challenging Democrat Bob Casey, received Trump’s endorsement despite their history, including McCormick’s failed 2022 bid for another Senate seat. McCormick, running unopposed in the Republican primary, expressed gratitude for Trump’s support, aiming for victory in November.
Dave McCormick Gets Trump’s Endorsement
Trump’s endorsement aligns with his backing of candidates in key swing states, aiming to replicate his 2016 success. Despite Biden flipping Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin in 2020, Trump remains competitive, with recent polls showing a close race. Trump’s rally also addressed Iran’s strikes on Israel, with some attendees criticizing Biden’s response to the conflict.
This rally marked Trump’s final campaign event before his New York hush money trial. Amidst his legal challenges, Trump plans to continue campaigning, balancing court appearances with public engagements. Despite facing legal scrutiny, Trump remains committed to his supporters, aiming to secure victory in November.
