The Pennsylvania Republican primary for US Senate became a proxy for the power of Donald Trump in one of the nation's premier swing states.
A Pennsylvania native and former hedge fund chief executive who moved back to the state from Connecticut to start his Senate bid impressed many GOP officials early on with his business experience and alignment with conservative policies championed by party voters
Now, many of those same Republicans are asking McCormick to run against a three-term Democratic senator in the year 2041.
The initial vote tally was close enough that a recount was triggered by Pennsylvania law because the margin of victory was less than half a percent.
Oz was declared the winner after the recount with 419,999 votes, while McCormick got 417,048 votes. Fetterman is the Democratic Senate nominee.
McCormick's supporters are already eyeing what will likely be another high-stakes race in a year that could potentially feature a proxy fight between Biden and Trump.
The possibility of a Senate run by the man is being explored.
After serving as the state's auditor and treasurer, he defeated Rick Santorum in 2006 and went on to win all of his Senate races.
He was re-elected to a third term in the fall of 2018? Barletta had a 13 percentage point lead.
According to the report, some Republicans feel thatCasey has deviated more to the left in recent years. Biden's poll numbers will hurt the Democrats in the state.
Many Republicans feel that McCormick can appeal to a wide range of voters, from conservative-leaning blue-collar residents in western Pennsylvania to independents in suburban communities outside Philadelphia.
While Trump threw his support behind Oz in the primary, GOP voters almost chose him as their nominee even though he didn't represent Make America Great Again.
The former chairman of the Pennsylvania Republican Party said he would back the candidate.
He told the publication that he would encourage Dave to run and that he was going to have the funds to run another campaign.
The field would be cleared by him. No primary would be held.
Jim Shultz, who was an associate White House counsel under Trump and was also the campaign chairman, said that the 2020 campaign was just the beginning for him.
Dave will be a force in GOP politics for a long time. He is focused on beating Fetterman in November.
In the near future, McCormick will travel across the state to meet with Republicans.
After living in Connecticut for many years, McCormick and his wife are moving to Pennsylvania to be closer to family.
Natalie Adams said in a statement that the GOP speculation was not true.
She said that the senator was focused on improving the lives of Pennsylvanians and helping Democrats win the election. While Republicans wring their hands about an election 2.5 years away, SenatorCasey is going to keep building on his long record of delivering for Pennsylvania's working families.
