Connecticut-based hedge fund manager and GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick got caught trying to backtrack his extreme views on abortion. A new report from The Keystone exposes McCormick for contradicting his own positions on abortion from his failed run for Senate in 2022.
McCormick is in lockstep with other GOP Senate candidates in battleground states who are also trying to backtrack from their out-of-touch views on abortion — despite the fact that everyone knows they would vote in lockstep with McConnell to ban abortion should Republicans take back the Senate.
“Dave McCormick’s cat’s out of the bag on his extreme abortion views, and there’s no stuffing it back in. Each flip-flop only reinforces why Pennsylvanians shouldn’t trust him. McCormick made it crystal clear: he’s ready to roll out the red carpet for a GOP-backed nationwide abortion ban,” said American Bridge spokesperson Nico Delgado.
