Pennsylvania’s Senate race is one of the most-watched in the country. Senator Bob Casey, a Democrat, is facing Republican Dave McCormick. NBC10’s Lauren Mayk invited both candidates to speak with her. Sen. Casey is the first to accept. He spoke with Lauren following a West Philadelphia campaign event and covered a wide range of topics, including the economy, Medicare, abortion, immigration, aid for Israel and the situation in Gaza. Editor’s Note: The interview took place before the death of Hamas leader Yahwa Sinwar was confirmed.
