Can a Hedge-Fund Patriot Win a U.S. Senate Seat in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate David McCormick has come under scrutiny for his investments in companies that outsourced American jobs. Candidate filing reports reveal that McCormick invested millions of dollars in companies such as General Electric, Hewlett Packard, and Wells Fargo, all of which outsourced jobs. Petitions filed with the Department of Labor indicate that over 15,000 American jobs, including 2,600 in Pennsylvania, were affected by the outsourcing actions of these companies.

One notable case was the outsourcing of jobs from a Wells Fargo call center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to the Philippines, which drew criticism and demands for investigation from Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey. McCormick's investments also included Chinese electric vehicle companies, despite blaming the struggles of auto workers on the Biden administration's policies.

McCormick is the frontrunner for Casey's seat in the 2024 general election. While his campaign manifesto proposes various policies, his investments in companies that outsourced jobs raise questions about his commitment to protecting American workers. McCormick will face a tough contest against Casey, who has already opposed outsourcing and proposed legislation to protect American call center jobs. It remains to be seen whether Pennsylvania voters will support a candidate with a history of investment in outsourced companies.
