U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick visits Butler
BUTLER TWP — Dave McCormick, a Pittsburgh native, said he had been content living the American dream last year when President Joe Biden withdrew American troops from Afghanistan.
He believed the withdrawal showed weakness and a lack of leadership and led him to enter the race to replace U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who is not running for reelection.
A military combat veteran and former official in President George W. Bush’s administration, McCormick is seeking the Republican nomination to run for Toomey’s Senate seat.
“I want to make a difference,” McCormick said, responding to a question at a meet-and-greet event Tuesday at Mac’s Route 8 Cafe.
