Republican Senate candidate for Pennsylvania Dave McCormick released a hard-hitting campaign ad focusing on his opponent’s endorsement of Vice President Harris.
The ad opens with a clip of Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) offering an endorsement of Harris after she was selected to be then-candidate Biden’s running mate in 2020. “Kamala Harris is inspiring and very capable… The more people get to know her, they’re going to be particularly impressed by her ability,” Casey said.
It then cuts to a number of the vice president’s most radically left-wing policy positions after noting that she was graded as the nation’s most left-wing senator by a nonpartisan watchdog.

The first clip focused on Harris’ radical views on climate change and natural gas drilling, a major industry in Pennsylvania. “I am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a Green New Deal,” Harris said while campaigning in 2020. At a separate event, she stated that there is “no question” she would be in favor of a ban on fracking. Pennsylvania has one of the biggest shale gas industries in the country, trailing only Texas in terms of total fracking output.
Harris also gleefully stated that she would be in favor of a ban on offshore drilling in another clip.
On the topic of immigration, the ad noted that Harris has called for the decriminalization of illegal immigration, advocated for free health care for illegal aliens, and the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a federal agency responsible for deportations.
It also drew attention to Harris’ past statements on criminal justice and crime. Harris — who bailed out violent rioters during the George Floyd riots in 2020 — called for funds to be diverted away from police departments in 2020 during the height of the unrest.
When asked whether she would be in favor of restoring voting rights for rapists and murderers, including the Boston Marathon bomber, then-candidate Harris replied by saying, “I think we should have that conversation.”
“We have to have a buyback program and I support a mandatory buyback program,” Harris said in another clip on the topic of gun confiscation.
The ad concludes with Senator Casey’s endorsement of the vice president once again, followed by a cackling Harris saying “we did it, Joe” after the 2020 election.
