Summary
A Democratic-linked super PAC, Defend Our Constitution, is supporting a third-party candidate in the Pennsylvania Senate race to potentially siphon votes away from Republican candidate Dave McCormick. This strategy aims to bolster Democratic incumbent Bob Casey’s chances of reelection in a highly competitive race that could influence the overall balance of power in the Senate.
The super PAC has reportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads promoting Constitution Party candidate Marty Selker, framing him as a viable option for conservative voters while criticizing McCormick’s ties to China. This tactic reflects a broader effort by Democrats to maintain their slim majority in the Senate, particularly in battleground states like Pennsylvania, where Casey is facing a tight race against McCormick. As both candidates ramp up their advertising expenditures—Casey spending $2.5 million and McCormick $2.4 million in the first half of October—this third-party endorsement could play a critical role in shaping voter dynamics leading into the election.
