Pennsylvania Police Criticize Sen. Casey's Alignment with Defund the Police Group

As Sen. Bob Casey faces a tight reelection campaign, his support from a pro-defund the police group draws backlash from law enforcement.

Pennsylvania police leaders criticize Sen. Bob Casey for aligning with a pro-defund the police group, calling it 'extremely dangerous' amid a crime surge.
Casey's campaign is supported by Indivisible Philadelphia, a group advocating for defunding the police and reallocating funds to community-led safety programs.
Law enforcement officials, including 72 sheriffs, endorse Republican Dave McCormick, highlighting Casey's controversial stance on crime and policing.
Casey defends his record, emphasizing support for law enforcement and funding for police equipment, while his campaign criticizes McCormick's background.
The controversy emerges as Casey prepares for a challenging reelection campaign in a battleground state, with recent polls showing a narrow lead over McCormick.
