Dave McCormick, the GOP Senate candidate, has just thrown a political curveball that’s causing quite a stir. His latest campaign ad, which zeroes in on his rival’s endorsement of Kamala Harris, is creating a ripple effect— and not the type you’d find at a serene beach. We’re talking about a tsunami-sized reaction.
The ad kicks off with what appears to be an ordinary clip of Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) backing Harris in 2020. This sets the stage for Casey’s hopeful thoughts about Harris’ “capability” and the idea that the more people get to know her, the more they’ll admire her. It’s the quiet before the storm, paving the way for a slew of clips depicting Harris as the face of extreme left-wing ideologies.
McCormick doesn’t hold back in his ad. It brings to light Harris’ contentious views on climate change and natural gas drilling—two sensitive topics in Pennsylvania. Her support for the Green New Deal and her readiness to ditch the filibuster to get it passed? That’s all included. And let’s not overlook her clear position on fracking—a practice she wouldn’t mind banning. For a state that ranks second only to Texas in shale gas production, this is akin to telling Pennsylvanians their favorite Philly cheesesteaks are prohibited.
Next up is the immigration segment, where Harris’ proposal to decriminalize illegal immigration and offer free healthcare for illegal aliens takes center stage. McCormick also emphasizes her push to dissolve ICE, effectively portraying her as the harbinger of border security doom.
The ad then transitions into criminal justice matters, highlighting Harris’ previous support for violent protesters during the George Floyd riots and her call to divert funds from police departments. As if that wasn’t enough, it reminds viewers of her openness to consider restoring voting rights for felons, including the Boston Marathon bomber.
And just when it seems McCormick has said it all, he brings up Harris’ take on gun control—a compulsory buyback program. It’s the icing on a cake that’s already brimming with contentious policy stances.
The ad concludes by revisiting Senator Casey’s endorsement, followed by a clip of Harris laughing and exclaiming “we did it, Joe” after the 2020 election. The message is crystal clear: Harris’ policies pose a risk, and so does anyone who supports her.
Congrats to Dave McCormick’s team… this is brilliant

McCormick’s ad is crafted to stir things up, spark discussion, and rally his supporters. It’s a carefully curated collection of Harris’ most divisive moments, designed to portray her—and by extension, his opponent—as disconnected from Pennsylvania’s values. Whether this will be enough to sway voters is yet to be seen. However, one thing is certain: McCormick has thrown down the gauntlet.
