PENNSYLVANIA - Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesperson TaNisha Cameron issued the following statement in response to David McCormick’s RNC speech:

“David McCormick tried to hide behind false attacks because he knows he can’t defend his record of investing millions in Chinese military companies, supporting an abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest, and funding China’s largest fentanyl producer. This November, Pennsylvanians will re-elect Senator Casey, a leader Pennsylvanians can trust to create jobs, fight fentanyl, and deliver for working families.”
