Former President Donald Trump is backing Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania – after throwing his support to a different candidate during McCormick's first run for the Senate two years ago. 'I am officially giving my endorsement to David McCormick tonight. He’s a good a man. He wants to run a good ship. He’s a smart guy, who was a very successful guy.
Casey, the son of a popular former governor, served a decade as Pennsylvania's auditor general and then treasurer before winning election to the Senate in 2006. The Senate race in Pennsylvania is one of a handful across the country that will likely decide if the Republicans win back the majority in the chamber. Democrats currently control the U.S.
McCormick was not at Saturday’s rally. His campaign told Fox News the candidate had a previously scheduled family commitment that he made long before Trump recently announced his rally in Schnecksville, which is located in the Lehigh Valley, a highly competitive part of the northeastern swing state. Following the rally, McCormick thanked Trump for the endorsement in a social media post. 'Thank you, President Trump,', he said.
The former president – who is being tried on 34 state felony charges – is accused of falsifying business records in relation to hush-money payments during the 2016 election he made to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about his alleged affair with the adult film actress. Trump has repeatedly denied falsifying business records as well as the alleged sexual encounter with Daniels.
