Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey and Republican challenger David McCormick have shared the debate stage for the last time before the election.
Tens of millions of dollars pour into the swing state race every week. Casey has portrayed McCormick as a wealthy, carpetbagging, former hedge fund CEO who got rich at the expense of Americans. McCormick has painted Casey as a weak, do-nothing, career politician.
McCormick at one point shot back that he wouldn't take any “preaching” from Casey, saying he went into Iraq with the Army in the Gulf War “in the first wave when it looked like there would be tens of thousands of casualties.”Casey replied, “This isn’t a race about his service or what we were doing at that age in our life. It’s about my work in the U.S. Senate and his work as a hedge fund CEO.”
Casey — a one-time self-described “pro-life Democrat” — voted in favor of the right to an abortion under the Roe v. Wade standard after the U.S. Supreme Court reversed its 1973 landmark decision on abortion rights.No senator “has flip-flopped more on this issue,” McCormick said. Now, he said, voters — not courts — get to decide whether a state will protect the right to an abortion, even if it means some women don't have that right, and he reiterated that he wouldn't vote for a federal ban on abortion.
