Senator Bob Casey, PA Dems Chair Hold Press Call Calling Out Oz & McCormick As “Damaged Goods” Stuck In “Rancorous And Poisonous” Intra-Party Fight

Senator Bob Casey: “This primary has been so divisive, rancorous and poisonous… those scars don’t go away.”

PA Dems Chair Nancy Patton Mills: “While the Democrats are fully united behind John, the Republican primary has shown us that they are in complete chaos”

PENNSYLVANIA – With Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate candidates locked in a divisive, never-ending intra-party fight, Senator Bob Casey joined Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair Nancy Patton Mills this morning for a virtual press conference to highlight how neither scam artist Mehmet Oz or Wall Street insider David McCormick can be trusted to represent Pennsylvania in the Senate.

This morning’s press conference kicked off a series of Pennsylvania Democratic Party events across different areas of the state in the weeks ahead, highlighting how both McCormick and Oz are “damaged goods,” and that whichever candidate ultimately emerges from the GOP primary will be rejected by voters in the general election.

Senator Bob Casey: “This primary has not just been so divisive and so rancorous and so poisonous in the primary – but that rancor and division is going to continue after the recount. I have no doubt that that will continue… When they have a bitter fight as they’ve had, those scars don’t go away. This recount is not going to be the end of it. We have a unified party, unified around a strong, determined leader who understands what real people are up against every day. And he’s met them and he understands them, and they understand him. And so we’re gonna win this race.”

Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chair Nancy Patton Mills: “While the Democrats are fully united behind John, the Republican primary has shown us that they are in complete chaos. I think that everything that we’ve learned about McCormick and Oz has been told to us by either McCormick or Oz. Just to give you an example, McCormick says when China succeeds, the United States succeeds. We heard that from Oz. He has, as a hedge fund executive, ripped off Pennsylvania’s teachers’ retirement system with high fees and poor returns. We heard that from Oz also. And he’s been called a political chameleon who has undergone a MAGA makeover… And Oz is no better. He’s been called a fraud, a scam artist, a snake oil salesman, and a quack doctor. During his campaign, he’s shown himself to be a different, more dangerous kind of Republican, the kind who will push Trump’s Big Lie… and it’s totally out of step – totally out of step – with Pennsylvania’s values. Neither of these people are Pennsylvanians, and neither of them have any right to be a US senator representing Pennsylvanians. 

In addition to the call with Senator Casey and Chairwoman Mills, Philadelphia leaders, including Chairman Bob Brady, Senator Nikil Saval, Representative Mary Isaacson, and Representative Donna Bullockheld a press conference today to highlight why neither Oz nor McCormick can be trusted to represent Pennsylvania in the Senate, while Democrats are unified behind John Fetterman. 

Also, today the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) released new videos on both Oz (“Showtime”)  and McCormick (“Has Its Price) highlighting why neither candidate can be trusted to represent Pennsylvania in the Senate. See the videos below:
