Former President Donald Trump on Sunday appeared to mistakenly shout out Pennsylvania’s GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick during his speech in North Carolina.
“We have great Republicans running, and you have one of the best of all right here, David McCormick, you know that. Where’s David? Is he around some place?” Trump said during his rally in Kinston, North Carolina.
Trump, who held a rally in Pennsylvania earlier in the day, appeared to catch himself and said, “You know, we just left him, he’s great guy.”
The Pennsylvania race – a face-off between McCormick and three-term Democratic Sen. Bob Casey – is crucial as Republicans try to flip the one or two seats they need to win control of the Senate. Casey was at 50% to McCormick’s 47% among likely voters in a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday.
CNN reported last month, while McCormick led one of the world’s largest hedge funds, the firm bet millions of dollars against some of the Pennsylvania’s biggest and most iconic companies.
Trump, speaking at the Lititz, Pennsylvania, rally earlier Sunday, said he “shouldn’t have left” office after losing the 2020 election, described Democrats as “demonic” and said he “wouldn’t mind” if a gunman aiming at him also shot through the “the fake news.”
