Nowhere is more important than PA.
Hi everybody, it’s Jon Lovett. I love Pennsylvania.
It’s home to Philly, the city that dares to ask the question: what’s the opposite of Southern hospitality?
One thing I learned about myself by visiting the Commonwealth is that I don’t care how you treat me, as long as the sandwiches are good, and you’ve got the best sandwiches in the country. (Cry about it, Chicago.)
Pennsylvania is also home to Bob Casey, who’s facing a tough re-election.
The senior Senator is up against David McCormick, an out-of-towner rich guy (PA Republicans sure do have a type) who supports extreme abortion bans with no exceptions for rape or incest.
This guy could self-fund this race and has a bunch of right-wing money hanging over the race like a piano on a fraying string. Republicans could spend hundreds of millions of dollars in PA to flip this seat red.
That’s why I’m doing one of these classic emails asking you to chip in a few dollars to support Senator Bob Casey’s re-election campaign, because we need to do everything we can to help him win.
We all know that Pennsylvania will be a top presidential battleground this year. It’s part of both Democrats’ and Republicans’ paths to victories.
That puts an even bigger spotlight on this Senate race, where Mitch McConnell and national Republicans are all in for the mega-millionaire hedge fund exec (that’s McCormick, who I mentioned earlier).
This is going to be a tough race, and we just can’t afford to lose this seat. Can you chip in to Bob’s campaign today? Every dollar counts!

This race could determine the Senate majority. We have to win.
Thanks for the sandwiches,
