McCormick Pledged To Be A Stalwart Opponent Of Abortion.

Trump been re-elected. He would, he said, drive for U.S. energy dominance, espousing policies that would, at least for the near-term future, emphasize fossil fuel production over climate change transition; make permanent the Trump tax cuts; work to change entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare - not for people who have already paid in - but for the generations to come. He also pledged to be a strong defender of the right to bear arms; and be a stalwart opponent of abortion.” [PennLive, 3/11/22]
