9 Senate Races to Watch in November

The Epoch Times Header

Pennsylvania ∙ Michigan ∙ Ohio ∙ Wisconsin ∙ Arizona ∙ Nevada ∙ Texas ∙ Montana ∙ Nebraska

On Nov. 5, a number of states will elect U.S. senators for new six-year terms starting in 2025. The winners will determine which party has a Senate majority for the next two years and so will be critical to the new president—especially for Cabinet and judicial nominations, each of which must be confirmed by the Senate.

Beyond nominations, the Senate majority will affect the productivity of Congress and influence the kind of legislation it passes, which makes these elections determinative of national politics.

Several incumbent senators running for reelection have only a narrow lead or trail their challengers.

Given the stakes involved, The Epoch Times lists the top states where 2024 Senate races merit national attention.

Pennsylvania

In the Keystone State, incumbent Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (D-Pa.) is running for reelection to a fourth term. Casey is the scion of a Pennsylvania political dynasty—his father, Bob Casey Sr., was governor from 1987 to 1995—and he has had a long career in commonwealth politics, serving as both treasurer and auditor general.

Running against Casey is Republican nominee David McCormick, an Army veteran who served as a deputy national security adviser and Treasury undersecretary to President George W. Bush. Most recently, he was the CEO of Bridgewater Associates, one of the world’s wealthiest hedge funds, founded by prominent investor Ray Dalio.

Polls show Casey ahead of McCormick by an average of 3.3 percentage points, according to RealClearPolitics. That figure is close to the margin of error, however, and some polls show them tied.

Republicans are counting on a strong turnout propelled by Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump, to take down Casey. Trump currently leads Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris by a margin of 0.8 percentage points, on average, in the commonwealth.

Criticism of McCormick’s campaign has emerged because of his residence in Westport, Connecticut, while working at Bridgewater Associates. Although McCormick was born in a Pittsburgh suburb and owns a home in the area, Casey’s campaign has sought to portray him as an out-of-state candidate merely seeking an electoral opportunity.
