SCRANTON, Pa. (WHTM) – Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey says he’s considering a run for the White House.
Casey told Scranton television station WNEP-TV he has “an obligation to consider” a presidential run in 2020 “because of what’s at stake for our country.”
“Anyone who can win a statewide election – I’ve won three Senate races in Pennsylvania. I think I have an obligation to consider it because of those stakes,” Casey said.
“This is a critical time. We have to make sure the nominee of the Democratic party wins Pennsylvania because you cannot get elected president if you cannot win Pennsylvania. I’ve shown I can do that. I’ve won by an average of 13 points over three elections, so it’s something I’m considering.”
Casey won a third Senate term in this month’s election.
