Seizing on talk that residents of New York City are thinking of leaving the Big Apple due to the election of Zohran Momdani as mayor, Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick is playing travel agent and championing the Commonwealth as an alternative.
McCormick appeared in a video released by his staff that invites those worried about life in NYC under Momdani to consider a place in the Keystone State, while also talking a little gridiron smack in the process.
“Are you worried about your future in New York? Because I have just the place for you.
“Pennsylvania, where America was born. We’ve got mountains, winning football teams, world-class universities. And no one is going to make you feel unwelcome for loving America, loving freedom, and loving your God.
“We’re rebuilding steel, innovating life sciences, leading the AI revolution, and creating tens of thousands of jobs in shipbuilding, energy, and AI infrastructure.
“Forget about the high taxes, the socialists, the losing football teams. If you’re looking for a change of scenery, all you have to do is head west on I-80.
“The Keystone State is calling. Come on down,” said McCormick.
