When politicians, business and civic leaders descend on New York City’s Waldorf Astoria on Friday for the annual Pennsylvania Society gathering, Democrats in the crowd will be celebrating the first time in 75 years that the state’s voters have not elected at least one Republican senator.
David McCormick, the former chief executive officer of hedge fund giant Bridgewater Associates, will be in attendance, too. His fellow Republicans are pushing for him to go up against three-term Senator Bob Casey in 2024 to restore the Commonwealth’s split in the chamber. McCormick himself is weighing another run, people familiar with the matter said.
