Like Trump, McCormick’s campaign made a concerted effort to mobilize low-propensity voters, specifically those who were poised to support Trump, but otherwise turned off from other GOP candidates,. McCormick’s significant focus on this voting bloc serves as a contrast to previous Republican candidates who have historically tended to take turnout among their base for granted..
For disengaged voters far from metropolitan areas, the campaign also enlisted their door-to-door field program to identify these individuals so they could sent texts, mailers, and advertise on their rural radio stations. The campaign even aired a litany of ads during football games. These efforts in combination with other tactics — like a statewide bus tour and ads that sought to get ahead of Democratic talking points — helped make McCormick the only Republican candidate to win in a swing state Senate race this yearIn 2012, Casey outperformed Obama by 1.7 percentage points among Pennsylvania voters, and his margin of victory over GOP Senate candidate Tom Smith was 3.7 percentage points greater than Obama’s over Republican Mitt Romney.
