Kate Rivera, president of the Riverwards Area Democrats, said she liked Casey’s subdued, somewhat geeky campaign style.

“I’m a politics nerd so I love his little map schtick,” Rivera said. “But I think that Democrats broadly know what’s on the line this November and I think he’s also just like a genuine person who can connect to voters in that way.”

McCormick, Rivera said, “doesn’t even live in Pennsylvania.”

At an election night party in Pittsburgh, McCormick supporter Kate Lyttle, 74, a retired bank executive from Indiana County, said she thinks his biography can appeal to people looking for a leader “above and beyond party lines.”

 

”I think he’s a very bright young man, and I think he’d be very energetic in his job,” he said. “And as a West Point cadet, and then an Army veteran and officer who sought combat duty in Afghanistan, I just think he brings a lot of leadership and character to his campaign.”
