Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey, a Democrat seeking re-election, has launched a controversial campaign ad distancing himself from President Joe Biden and aligning with Donald Trump's policies, particularly on fracking and tariffs on China. The ad features a couple touting Casey's 'independence,' despite his historical record of voting with Biden 98.5% of the time. Analysts suggest this shift indicates Casey's concern about challenger Dave McCormick's rising popularity and the potential for Trump to win Pennsylvania in the upcoming election. Casey's decision to omit any mention of Vice President Kamala Harris further emphasizes his attempt to appeal to swing voters. Critics argue that while he claims to be an independent voice, his past voting record contradicts this portrayal. The ad underscores the political tensions in a key battleground state as the 2024 election approaches.
