Pennsylvania's Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Republican Dave McCormick speak with NBC News' Julie Tsirkin about why they differ from each other and how they are striking a balance with the top of the ticket.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey went head-to-head with Republican challenger Dave McCormick in a bitter first debate Thursday night that reflected the close nature and high stakes of a race that could help determine the balance of power in Washington. The hourlong showdown touched on topics from the economy to abortion to energy — and it frequently got personal, as each candidate repeatedly tried to paint the other as a liar.
” McCormick, who regularly campaigns with former President Donald Trump, said he does disagree with him on certain policy proposals. He noted that he opposes the state and local tax deduction benefiting states such as New York and New Jersey, which Trump supports. In an interview Monday, McCormick also said he differs with Trump on continued funding for war-torn Ukraine.
