FLASHBACK FRIDAY: MULTIMILLIONAIRE HEDGE FUND EXECUTIVE DAVID MCCORMICK ADMITS HE IS OUT-OF-TOUCH WITH PENNSYLVANIANS

David McCormick at the Aspen Ideas Festival this past week: “The America [Pennsylvania voters have] experienced is very different than the America most of the people in this room experience, myself included”

PENNSYLVANIA — Last week, hedge fund executive David McCormick flew to the Aspen Ideas Festival to sell copies of his book and rub elbows with his Wall Street friends and global elites. During his 50-minute remarks while being interviewed, McCormick admitted he can’t relate to the problems of most Pennsylvanians, and said his wife and children aren’t supportive of his campaigns. 

While McCormick was socializing with billionaires, Sen. Bob Casey gathered with labor leaders in Pittsburgh to lay out his agenda to stand up to China, support workers, and boost Pennsylvania manufacturing. 

Read the highlights from McCormick’s panel at Aspen Ideas Festival: 

  • McCormick Admits He Doesn’t Understand the Experience of Pennsylvanians: 
    • McCormick: “So the America [Pennsylvania voters have] experienced is very different than the America most of the people in this room experience, myself included, over the last 20 years.”
  • McCormick Says his Wife, Dina, Doesn’t Want Him to Run for Office Again: 
    • Questioner: “So how do we get you to run against Trump?”
    • McCormick: “Well, you start with my wife, who is diametrically opposed to any running of any kind.”
