Casey Announces Reelection Run While Republicans Scramble To Find A Candidate

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) officially announced Monday that he will run for reelection to his seat in 2024, an expected but welcome weight-off for Democrats who have to defend a battery of competitive seats this cycle.

Senator Bob Casey stepped up to the plate in 2022. He campaigned state wide for Fetterman, Shapiro, and all the down ballot Democrats.

He’s a good man and a liked man, and I don’t see McCormick (and especially not Mastriano) taking his seat.

What, is there no carpetbagging junk-mongering mediocre TV show host to be found?

Alex Jones is a bit busy at the moment, likewise Bartiromo, Hannity and Fucker.

Well, there’s always Tucker. He may not live (physically) in Pennsylvania, but he is in the hearts and minds (and testicles) of millions of idiots everywhere, especially in Russia.

No, but there is a Christian Nationalist looking to lose two straight in a row:

someone like former state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R), the Christian nationalist who got smoked by now-Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) in 2022 and helped Democrats paint the Republican ticket as far-right extremists

The PA GQP is a clusterfuck of delusional incompetents who couldn’t organize a one-car funeral.

There are no indications that they’re going to change appreciably.

I’m sure Mastriano would be only too glad to embarrass himself a second time.

Gee why would Pennsylvania Republicans scramble for a candidate when they got Masterbateriano?

Mastriano, huh? Given the trajectory of the GQP right now, what are the odds that he won’t be dismissed as a RINO by the time 2024 rolls around?

I’m sending Mastriano a hundred bucks today. There may be more where that came from.

Casey is not the longest serving senator from Pennsylvania. Arlen Specter served 30 years, and Boies Penrose served almost 30. Casey has held his seat since 2007, or 16 years.

I think that they mean longest serving Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania.
