From Fox News: Vulnerable incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey turned heads Friday with a new campaign ad in Pennsylvania that highlights how he “bucked Biden” and “sided” with former President Trump.

In a TV spot released Friday morning, a married couple with different political views each praise Casey as an “independent,” highlighting his support for Trump’s trade policies and efforts to “protect fracking” from the Biden administration. The ad, called “Bliss,” features a Republican woman named Marygrace and her Democrat husband, Joe.

“Our marriage – pure bliss! But on politics, we just don’t agree. Except for Bob Casey. He’s independent,” Marygrace says, with her husband chiming in, “That’s right!”

“Casey’s leading the effort to stop corporate greedflation and price-gouging,” Marygrace continues. “Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating. So in this house, we agree, it’s Bob Casey who’s doing right by Pennsylvania.”

Casey himself appears at the end of the 30-second video and says, “I’m Bob Casey and definitely approve this message.”

Casey has served in the U.S. Senate since 2007, and is running for a fourth six-year term. He is the son of former Pennsylvania Gov. Bob Casey Sr.

Casey is being challenged by Republican Dave McCormick, a combat veteran and businessman, who previously ran for Senate in 2022, but lost out in the GOP primary by 1,000 votes.

Watch Casey’s new ad below, as he touts his support for Trump’s trade policies in an effort to hold on to his seat.

Donald Trump Jr. pounced on the ad, and wrote, “Leftist Pennsylvania Senator @Bob_Casey is currently running a TV ad trying to tie himself to Trump. Notice that he’s not running any ads tying himself to Kamala Harris or mentioning that he votes with her 100% of the time. You only run this ad if you think Trump is winning PA!”

Trump campaign advisor Tim Murtaugh wrote, “Bob Casey thinks Donald Trump is going to win Pennsylvania. That’s the only way to explain Casey’s new ad, which ALIGNS HIM WITH TRUMP. He bucks Biden by name, and does not mention Kamala Harris at all. An endangered Dem is RUNNING AWAY FROM HARRIS AND WITH TRUMP. Just huge.”

McCormick released the following video this week from comments he made during a debate with Casey Tuesday night, and wrote, “I retired from the Army as a captain after a combat tour in Iraq, but I’ve never stopped serving my country. I’m a seventh-generation Pennsylvanian, political outsider, & PA job creator. Bob Casey is a weak, liberal, 30-year career politician who has failed our commonwealth.”
