Casey, the longest-serving Democratic U.S. senator in Penn. history, has cast himself as standing up to “corporate special interests,” and said there is more to do to lower the cost of living for working families, such as child care or prescription drugs.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey will seek a fourth term in office, bringing the power of incumbency and unmatched name recognition in Pennsylvania politics to his party’s defense of a seat in a critical presidential battleground state.
In running for reelection, Casey’s message sounds similar to how Biden’s campaign for a second term may sound. Casey points to landmark bills produced by a Democratic-controlled Congress that would expand spending on infrastructure such as airports and broadband internet, to reinvigorate a domestic semiconductor industry, to subsidize hydrogen fuel plants and to lower drug costs for Medicare recipients.
The Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, is already attacking Casey for voting for laws under Biden that they say have worsened inflation, and threatened Social Security and Medicare – two programs that Casey has long championed. Many Republicans acknowledge that it will be difficult to beat Casey. Some privately say he can’t be beaten.
Still, Casey said he always expects a tough race, given Pennsylvania’s status as a battleground state.
