Former US President Donald Trump made it known that he was backing Pennsylvania Republican Senator David McCormick, who is running against current Senator Bob Casey (D-PA ).
McCormick’s confirmation came on Saturday nights at a political rally in Schnecksville.
Trump addressed the crowd,” I’m actually extending my support to David McCormick tomorrow.” ” He’s a good man. He desires to operate a successful fleet. He was a very effective and intelligent person.
McCormick was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, and raised in Bloomsburg. According to his battle site, he ended up graduating from West Point, served in the 82nd Airborne Division, and served in the Middle East during the First Gulf War.

” He’s given up a lot to do this, and I’ll tell you what, he’s the nominee of the Republican Party”, Trump added. ” David McCormick, go out and vote for him, because Casey does n’t do a damn thing I’ll tell you. He does n’t do a thing”.
