Former President Donald Trump has officially endorsed Republican Dave McCormick for the Senate campaign in Pennsylvania. Trump initially hesitated to endorse McCormick, a former hedge fund executive challenging Democrat Bob Casey in a crucial Senate battleground.
During a rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, Trump expressed his support for McCormick, praising him as a good man with a successful background. McCormick, who is running unopposed in the upcoming Republican primary on April 23, has received Trump's endorsement as the nominee of the Republican Party.
Despite their past differences, including McCormick's failed 2022 primary bid for another Senate seat in Pennsylvania, Trump's endorsement signifies a united front for the upcoming election. McCormick, who was not present at the rally due to a prior family commitment, expressed gratitude for Trump's support on social media.
Trump's endorsement of McCormick aligns with his backing of candidates supported by the National Republican Senatorial Committee in key swing states. While Trump has not formally endorsed a candidate in the Nevada Senate race, he indicated his preference for Republican hopeful Sam Brown in a recent social media post.
McCormick's campaign is optimistic about the partnership with Trump, aiming to secure a victory for Pennsylvania and America in the November election. With Trump's endorsement, McCormick's candidacy gains momentum as the race intensifies in the critical Senate battleground of Pennsylvania.
