PHILADELPHIA — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey announced on Monday that he is running for reelection, setting the stage for another pivotal Senate race in Pennsylvania.
Last year’s open Senate contest between Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz was the most competitive and expensive in the country. Casey will bring the power of incumbency to the race, which is likely to be a closely watched contest given the high stakes for both parties in the narrowly divided Senate.
“I’m running for re-election because with so much on the line for Pennsylvania’s working families, I want to keep delivering results for Pennsylvania,” Casey said in a statement. “There’s still more work to cut through the gridlock, stand up to powerful corporate special interests, and make the lives of hardworking Pennsylvanians a little bit easier. I won’t back down from any fight for communities and families across our Commonwealth.”
