Mark Segal: “I Go to An Event, Bob Casey’s There. McCormick’s Not Around.”

Brittany Crampsie: “[McCormick] Doesn’t Have a Personal Experience That Mirrors [Pennsylvanians].”

PENNSYLVANIA — Connecticut hedge fund CEO and mega-millionaire David McCormick is continuing to catch heat for lying about living in Pennsylvania.

What Pennsylvanians Are Saying:

WPVI: Inside Story:

• Sarah Bloomquist: “I still feel like we don’t see a lot of [McCormick]. We see his ads, but we don’t see a lot of [him].”

• […]

• Nia Ngina Meeks: They might not necessarily vote for McCormick because it’s like, I really don’t know this guy. […] I could see a lot more of that because Casey is still a known entity, a known brand in Pennsylvania.

• […]

• Mark Segal: “[McCormick’s] already been tarred and feathered as the candidate that’s from out of Pennsylvania and doesn’t know what our values are, whereas Casey is known by most of us. I go to a restaurant today, and I bump into Casey. I go to an event, he’s there. McCormick’s not around.”

PCN: Journalist’s Roundtable:

• Kim Lyons, Pennsylvania Capital Star: “I think the voters that I talked to, even ones who are leaning toward McCormick, are still concerned that he has not really answered the do you live in Pennsylvania question. Without being prompted, a lot of people say, well, I think he still lives in Connecticut. I think the McCormick campaign would very much like to put that to rest and not discuss it anymore. But I don’t think that it’s going to go away.”

• Justin Sweitzer, City & State Pennsylvania: “I would just add to Kim’s point, that Connecticut line of attack, I think, has been something that Democrats have really embraced. You’ve seen it in their ads with some commercial spotlighting a mansion he rented in Connecticut as well as mispronunciation of the word Yangling – reference to the beer. I think they’re really looking to hammer home that. [McCormick] did spend a lot of time outside of PA.”

WPHL: This Week in PA:

• Brittany Crampsie: “I think McCormick is having trouble making traction with working families. He doesn’t have a personal experience that mirrors theirs. I don’t think he resonates. I don’t think that he’s really selling himself in the way that Casey does. He relates to Pennsylvanians as a lifelong Pennsylvanian.”

NewsNation: The Hill Sunday with Chris Stirewalt:

• Catherine Lucey, Wall Street Journal: Bob Casey is such a brand name in Pennsylvania. […] Pennsylvania knows him so well.
