McCormick, Casey race could determine control of U.S. Senate

Casey, 64, is seeking a fourth term against McCormick, 59, who ran for Pennsylvania's other U.S. Senate seat in 2022.

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — The race for the open U.S. Senate seat in Pennsylvania is among the nation's most highly contested and expensive races.

It could also help determine which party controls the narrowly divided Senate.

Democratic incumbent Bob Casey seeks a fourth term against Republican Dave McCormick

Casey, 64, the son and namesake of a former two-term governor, has one of the most recognizable names in state politics but this year he faces what has shaped up to be the toughest race of his Senate career. The seat is critical to Democratic hopes of keeping control of the narrowly divided chamber. He is facing what he calls his toughest reelection challenge yet. A staunch ally of labor unions, former state auditor general and treasurer and Pennsylvania’s longest-serving Senate Democrat, he has campaigned on preserving the middle class, abortion rights, labor rights and voting rights, all of which he says McCormick and Donald Trump pose a threat to.

McCormick, 59, is a former hedge fund CEO who served at the highest levels of former President George W. Bush’s administration and sat on Trump's Defense Advisory Board along with being Army combat veteran. He ran for Pennsylvania’s other U.S. Senate seat in 2022 but lost the GOP nomination to Mehmet Oz, who went on to lose to Democrat John Fetterman.

Also up for election to the seat are the following candidates:

Cory Widmann (R) - U.S. Senate

Marty Selker (C) - U.S. Senate

Leila Hazou (G) - U.S. Senate

John Thomas (L) - U.S. Senate

Quincy Magee (I) - U.S. Senate
