Republican David McCormick secured a Senate seat in Pennsylvania on Thursday, defeating Democratic Senator Bob Casey and boosting the GOP’s new majority.

McCormick, 59, previously challenged for a Senate seat and is a former hedge fund CEO with experience in President George W. Bush’s administration. He garnered substantial backing from Wall Street and connections across politics, finance, and government. Casey, pursuing a fourth term and known as one of Pennsylvania’s most prominent political figures and the son of a former governor, was defeated.

There was a time when Bob Casey seemed to aspire to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father, Robert Casey, Senior. Entering into the political world inhabited by his Dad, the junior Casey sought and won the endorsements of pro-life organizations.

But no more. The U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, was endorsed by the radical pro-abortion organization Reproductive Freedom for All, formerly known as NARAL.

Casey’s pro-life voting record has been, at best, abysmal. Still, there were those who held out hope that Bob Casey would somehow rediscover his roots and come back to the pro-life fold. But that hope was dashed by his alliance with the mouthpiece for the abortion industry.

McCormick, a military vetera, stated his opposition to abortion except in the rare cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
