During the media availability, Casey took the opportunity to comment on his Republican opponent, Dave McCormick, pointing out that McCormick does not live in Pennsylvania and has received financial backing from billionaires due to his support for their tax cuts.

Casey highlighted the importance of honesty and transparency in elected officials and candidates.

Furthermore, Casey criticized the Republican Party for obstructing bipartisan efforts to implement a border security policy, attributing the failure to reach a deal to the party’s focus on political gamesmanship rather than solving the issue at hand.

Overall, Sen. Bob Casey Jr.’s media availability provided insight into his priorities, accomplishments, and concerns as he seeks reelection to continue serving the people of Pennsylvania in the United States Senate.
