ALTOONA, Pennsylvania — Just two days ago, Michelle Damiano was very seriously thinking of voting for Kathy Barnette, the insurgent candidate running for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. Ten minutes after watching Dave McCormick speak in person at a meet-and-greet at Oak Spring winery in this Blair County city, she found herself swayed by McCormick. She now says she will vote for him on Tuesday.
Washington County native McCormick, Barnette, and Dr. Mehmet Oz are locked in a tight race between the three of them as voters go to the polls on Tuesday in Pennsylvania. The race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Lehigh Valley has been filled with outside drama that includes an angry former president, a petulant Club for Growth, and outside forces egging on everyone in the hopes that the Republican Party collapses in this must-win state for the Republicans in the fall.
“McCormick earned my vote tonight, I am so glad I came,” said Schneider, who had also considered voting for Barnette. In fact, it was the same story told over and over again in Lancaster, Beaver County, and Erie. Barnette's surge caused infighting in the conservative movement, with suspicious social media accounts egging on the fight. If successful, she may well cause the Republicans to lose this seat in the fall to Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is set to crush Conor Lamb in Tuesday’s Democratic primary.
