Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. has quietly built one of the most successful political legacies in Pennsylvania history. Prior to Casey’s 2018 reelection victory, never before had a Pennsylvania Democrat won three terms to the United States Senate. As the Scranton native eyes his 2024 reelection campaign, he not only boasts decisive front-runner status but also has the opportunity to help the Democratic Party maintain control of the Senate.
Hailing from the region of Northeast Pennsylvania that President Joe Biden calls home and son to one of Pennsylvania’s most popular governors, Casey has been steeped in politics since day one. His father, the late Gov. Bob Casey, gained national notoriety as a leading pro-life Democrat; that position has been foundational to Casey’s ideological priorities and political successes, though he has moved closer to the Democratic Party’s pro-choice ranks in recent years.
