Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dave McCormick criticized his opponent, Sen. Bob Casey, for allegedly retaliating against McDonald's following former President Donald Trump's visit to a Pennsylvania location of the fast-food chain during the campaign trail. A group of Senate Democrats, including Casey, Elizabeth Warren, and Ron Wyden, sent a letter to McDonald's CEO accusing the company of price gouging shortly after Trump's appearance at a franchise in Feasterville, Pennsylvania.
McCormick condemned Casey for resorting to 'vindictive pressure tactics' due to his dislike for Trump, labeling it as an anti-business move. The senators' letter raised concerns about McDonald's pricing strategies and its impact on consumers, prompting a response from the company defending its franchise model and commitment to affordability.
