‘Casey’s refusal to stand up throughout President Biden’s obvious decline is despicable’

PITTSBURGH, PA. — Dave McCormick, a combat veteran and Pennsylvania job creator who served in the highest levels of government, released the following statement after Joe Biden announced he would end his re-election campaign: 

Joe Biden is not capable of serving as Commander-in-Chief. 

Bob Casey is very close to Biden — he’s known this — but in typical Casey fashion, he’s been weak in his refusal to admit to Pennsylvanians that Biden is simply not up to the job. Keeping his head down when times get tough, that’s who Bob Casey is.

As a veteran and an American, I believe our troops deserve a Commander-in-Chief who is fully capable of doing the job — and Casey’s refusal to stand up for them throughout President Biden’s obvious decline is despicable. 

No matter who becomes the Democrats’ presidential nominee, career politician and habitual liar Bob Casey can’t run from the disastrous liberal agenda he’s rubber stamped for the past three and a half years and throughout his 30 years of collecting a taxpayer-funded paycheck. 

Casey has voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ failing liberal agenda and tired, old ideas 98% of the time, fueling a border crisis that killed over 4,000 Pennsylvanians from fentanyl last year, violent crime terrorizing our communities, record high rent, gas and groceries, and regulations that are crushing the commonwealth’s energy sector. 

The people of Pennsylvania deserve a strong leader who will go to the mat to get things done for them, and I’m proud of our growing movement. On November 5, Pennsylvania will retire empty suit Bob Casey.
