Senator Casey: “I’ve Got An Opponent, Who, When He Was A Hedge Fund Manager, Actually Invested Millions In China’s Largest Producer Of Fentanyl […] He’s Been Blowing A Lot Of Hot Air About Immigration And The Border And He’s Done Nothing To Make Our Community Safer.”

PENNSYLVANIA – Senator Bob Casey discussed his fight for women’s rights, voting rights, and workers’ rights yesterday morning on NPR’s Morning Edition. Senator Casey also called out David McCormick’s investments in China’s largest fentanyl producer and McCormick’s opposition to bipartisan legislation to secure the border.

ICYMI: Senator Bob Casey on NPR’s Morning Edition

Senator Casey: I’m going to win this race … no matter what the circumstances, because I think the contrast between what I’ve delivered for the people of Pennsylvania […] and what my opponent stands for — it’s a very clear contrast on women’s rights, voting rights, workers’ rights, and supporting efforts to deliver for communities.

Senator Casey: I want to make sure the people of our state know that I’ve voted repeatedly 25 times to invest in border security, and that goes back years. I voted for the two toughest border provisions in American history in 2013 and in 2024. That bipartisan bill that I supported and my opponent opposes aggressively would give the President the authority to shut down the border. If it were passed months ago when Republicans blocked it after initially supporting until their presidential candidate told them not to, we would be months into a much better circumstance at the border.

I’ve got an opponent, who, when he was a hedge fund manager, actually invested millions in China’s largest producer of fentanyl. So, that’s going to be a big issue in this race because we’ve lost too many Pennsylvanians to the poison of fentanyl.

Senator Casey: Contrary to what my opponent has been talking about on the campaign trail, he’s been blowing a lot of hot air about immigration and the border, and he’s done nothing to make our community safer. In fact, he made – those investments he made as a hedge fund manager that helped to make him rich, and one of those investments was in China’s largest fentanyl producer.
