mccormick has that to fall back on.re talking you notice of millions of dollars and as of the first quarter of this year. back spinning for mccormick has been 1 million that for many donors, several dozen mostn pennsylvania. and,nsylvania and advocate and yes, you see casey, again pennsylvania is one of those states that the senate campaign committees are focusing onn it o comtted money to that not all of this is on hand yet, so there some financialamic that you see and i would say that's one ofmidae factors. >> in the primary race, that your wasn't terribly exciting another side was it. >> will not know really anything they really the field is clearing out in the candidates and mccormick already run in the primary in 2022 against ozzie

loss appear rendered pretty ly to think the gop establishment was contented iing casey i mean, you would be i would say, running against casey and pennsylvania and democratic primary coming he has a very long history in the state and is y governor popular republican governor in his term close to biden. it's all about very full centered. >> was in the e from the candidates. >> yes,, definitely very different terms of the focusing on, and notice fighter and a member of the senate and he's not really flashy going a dozen going to be that michelle be talking about thatn initial ads. the pitches himself to voters strapping that he's it part of the major pretty

aside and bill packs with the big focus is rhino has been consumer protections specifically bill that would have the fcc to penalize the companieething abide in his i go about in date talk about it during the state of theni about casey bad casey avenue see the relationship there, chatting and focused on things that has been sort of really getting us controversialo . mccormick tied himself to companies weretron and has been his approach. immigration is been a huge thing for him to talk a lot about border just residence you know the republicans and states like pennsylvania the notes attached unit one of his recent data bytes thieves talking about palestinians t biden administration of the white house has close offnd they would allow palestinians in egypt to have great to the u.s. be a family herehe

was something that he really collated and tey to the biden administration as far as that. and i have to mention is that you know mccormick, he lived in connecticut forany years and you know his career is taking him allll of the place were thre sicily the ceo bridgewater the heavy site in all this you wealthy guy for many years does not live in pyl there was a huge issue for him and his last race for u.s. senate heavy at issue in ts he lives part-time in connecticut he's been doingis it muouylvania but he goes back to connecticut a lot of yhere. so yes that is for sure the pandemic here as well. >> images must tour he's doing around penvaer strategies are they can plant in point to reach outhe voters them advertising smear a lot of advertising so were starting to see that you mentioned the super pacs that heport mccormick

and they have not even spent like we haven't really put a dent into the large amount of money that they have on hand. they're starting to cover sey spent a little more manytes of the campaign against so far. and the same thing for him sorto far we've seen recognition in the bus are is a big part of mccormick strategy for reintroducing himself firsthi that make each of the voters are part of it and see again,lly is goal is to setting several part usually did nothing case seems ut making sure that what they are working on an impressive were there going to be having a hard time we still whend the president doest have a great super ratings issues like inflation will be popping at the top of mind so objectionable. >> pennsylvania long-lived

lord in the presidential race. what is the interaction between the senate race in the presidential race in pennsylvania this year. >> i mean,, you know, some of those things it's a little bit on the border but whatever happens is top of the ticketed not just pennsylvania but whatever happens coming you get it down ballott. ando i think that with casey and mccormick of the notry to really divorce himself fromhe degrees in casey will be too hard for him to dohahe environmental of some strand. but that, yes, i think so far pennsylvan a story starting not you know, the primary is been quiet for the sin well. uncommitted movement of the w prophetic side and you see some tractions there pretty and
