Asked which Democrat was better for the Keystone State, Bob Casey said, “Oh, I don’t know ... We’ll never know the answer to that. ... The voters are going to make a decision.”
Casey didn’t immediately answer moderator Dennis Owens’ question, biting his lip when pressed on the point. Ultimately, he refused to pick one way or the other.
“Oh, I don’t know, Dennis. We’ll never know the answer to that,” Casey finally said. “The voters are going to make a decision.” Harris and Biden seemed to factor prominently into McCormick’s debate strategy, as he tried to portray Casey as overly liberal by drawing a link between his voting record and the current executive branch.
Casey, for his part, centered his attack around the fact that McCormick used to have a residence in Connecticut, diminishing his claim to run in Pennsylvania.Casey’s awkward response comes as Harris competes feverishly to win the battleground state, which Biden flipped in 2020, winning it by 1.2 percent—a key step in his victory overaround Latino voters, a growing bloc which Biden won handily when he claimed the state.
“President Obama believes the stakes of this election could not be more consequential and that is why he is doing everything he can to help elect Vice President Harris, Governor Walz and Democrats across the country,” said Eric Schulz, an Obama aide.
