GOP sets its sights on Bob Casey's Senate seat
Politico
Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey could get a challenge from Republican David McCormick.

PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania’s Senate GOP primary just ended. But Republicans here are already plotting out the Senate race in 2024.
GOP leaders, donors and strategists are urging David McCormick, the former hedge fund CEO who lost by fewer than 1,000 votes to Mehmet Oz in this year’s Republican Senate contest, to run again in two years against Democratic Sen. Bob Casey.
A person familiar with McCormick’s thinking said he is already looking at the possibility.
Casey, who walloped former GOP Rep. Lou Barletta in 2018 by double digits, will be up for reelection in 2024. Though he has been a formidable opponent in the past, Republicans think the three-term senator will be vulnerable because he has become more liberal in recent years, and political headwinds have shifted rightward under President Joe Biden.
