“Another night, another tragedy in Philadelphia.
It is one of the most hazardous major cities in America.
Kamala Harris would only make things worse.
“We did not believe that in order to ensure safety, we need to put more police officers on the streets.”
And Bob Casey stands with her. He is feeble.
I’m Dave McCormick. I stand with the police, and that’s why 40,000 police officers, sheriffs, and state troopers stand with Dave McCormick.
We swapped Casey for McCormick and you should do the same.
Of course I support this message.”

“Can We Believe Dave McCormick on Fentanyl?
“I have never invested in producers of illegal fentanyl.”
Don’t be fooled. This is the truth.
McCormick has invested millions of dollars in a company that produces 90% of its fentanyl in China. 90%.
McCormick saw a way to enrich himself with Chinese fentanyl, a drug that is killing our children, and now he is lying about it.
My name is Bob Casey and I support this message.”
