In 2005, Casey received calls from U.S. SenatorChuck Schumer(D-NY), the chair of theDemocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee,and U.S. SenatorHarry Reid(D-NV), theSenate Minority Leader,who both asked him to run for U.S. Senate in the2006 U.S. Senate electionagainst Republican incumbentRick Santorum.On March 5, 2005, Casey launched his campaign for the Democratic nomination. Casey's run for the Senate was his fifth statewide campaign in nine years.

Casey was almost immediately endorsed byGovernorEd Rendell,his primary election opponent from2002.[10]He was endorsed by two Democrats who had been mentioned as possible U.S. Senate nominees: formerCongressmanJoe Hoeffel,who had run against Pennsylvania's other Senator,Arlen Specter,in 2004, and formerState TreasurerBarbara Hafer,whom many in theabortion rights movementhad attempted to convince to run against Casey in the Democratic primary.[citation needed]

Casey's moresocially conservative viewsled to two challenges in the Democratic primary. His two challengers, college professor Chuck Pennacchio and pension lawyer Alan Sandals, argued that Casey's views on abortion and other social issues were too conservative for mostPennsylvaniaDemocrats. Casey challenged this, arguing his opinions gave him cross-party appeal. He easily defeated both challengers in the May 16 primary, receiving 85% of the vote.[11][12]

On election night, Casey won the race with 59% of the vote, compared to 41% for incumbent SenatorRick Santorum.Casey's margin of victory was the highest ever for a Democrat running for the United States Senate in Pennsylvania.[13]Casey's 17.4-point victory margin was also the largest for a challenger to any incumbent Senator sinceJames AbdnorunseatedGeorge McGovernby 18.8 points in1980.[14]

2012

Main article:2012 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania

Casey sought re-election in 2012.[15][16]His re-election prospects were uncertain. Observers noted that as the election approached, Casey, an early supporter of Obama, had "started to oppose the president outright or developed more nuanced responses to events that differentiate him from Mr. Obama. Analysts say Mr. Casey wants to put some distance between himself and a president whose job approval ratings in Pennsylvania are poor".[17]

In December 2011, it was reported that theAFL–CIOwould be spending "over $170,000" on pro-Casey TV ads.[18]

Casey easily defeated challenger Joseph Vodvarka in the spring Democratic primary, and faced former coal company owner and Republican nomineeTom Smithin the fall general election. He defeated Smith on November 6, 2012, 53.7% to 44.6%, to win a second term, making him the first Democrat elected to a second term in the Senate from Pennsylvania sinceJoseph S. Clark Jr.'s 1962 victory.[19]

2018

Main article:2018 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania

Casey defeated his Republican challenger, U.S. Congressman and former Hazelton mayorLou Barletta,by a 55.7% to 42.6% margin. The victory made Casey the first Democrat to be elected to a third term in state history, as well as the first to win six statewide elections generally.[20][21][22]

Tenure

On March 28, 2008, Casey endorsed frontrunnerBarack Obamain theDemocratic Party presidential primary.[23]ThePennsylvania Reportsaid that he "struck gold" by endorsing Obama early in the2008 Democratic presidential primary,a move that gave him "inside access to the halls of theWhite House".[24]Casey campaigned across Pennsylvania in support of Obama's candidacy in the months leading up to the primary in that state; they bowled together at Pleasant Valley Lanes inAltoona.[25]

Casey has been described as an "even-keeled moderate, not only in tone but in policy", but afterDonald Trumpentered the White House in 2017, Casey developed a "new, saltier social media prowess". His outspoken opposition to many of Trump's actions prompted one local media outlet to describe his new strategy before his 2018 re-election campaign as: "Oppose Trump every chance he gets."[26][27]

On February 18, 2018, speaking toJohn Catsimatidison New York radio stationWNYM,Casey issued a warning tospecial counselRobert Muellernot to deliver a report on his findings in theRussian interference in the 2016 United States electionsinvestigation too near to the2018 midterm elections.While saying he could not "make any assumptions about where the Mueller investigation is going," he stated that he "would recommend Mueller not release a report on his findings near the midterms," because it would "distract from elections or cause people to question the election's integrity."[28]

Casey voted in January 2010 to re-confirm Federal Reserve ChairmanBen Bernanke.[35]Casey was among 41 senators who co-sponsoredPROTECT IP Act(PIPA) anti-piracy and theft legislation, the Senate version ofStop Online Piracy Act(SOPA).[36]

In January 2014, Casey released a new report onincome inequalityin Pennsylvania and urged Congress to close the income gap by raising theminimum wage,extending unemployment insurance, and increasing funding for early education.[37][38][39]Casey has said that he believes that the United States has not exhausted its options to stop foreign countries from flooding the United States with steel supplies, and has stated that he wants the Trump administration to defend nuclear power in Pennsylvania.[40]

In April 2017, Casey was one of eight Democratic senators to sign a letter to President Trump noting government-subsidized Chinese steel had been placed into the American market in recent years below cost and had hurt the domestic steel industry and the iron ore industry that fed it, calling on Trump to raise the steel issue withPresident of the People's Republic of ChinaXi Jinpingin his meeting with him.[41]

In 2024, Casey introduced two bills aimed at lowering consumer prices. One was the Shrinkflation Protection Act, which would prevent companies from selling smaller sizes of product without lowering prices. The other bill was the Price Gouging Prevention Act, which would empower theFederal Trade Commissionand state attorneys general to take action against "grossly excessive price increases."[42]

Education

As a candidate for State Treasurer in 2004, Casey opposedschool vouchers,and supported using state funds "to increase the availability of safe, quality and affordable early care and education for families that choose to use these programs".[43]

Betsy DeVos and FIRE

Casey questionedDonald Trump's nomination ofBetsy DeVosto beSecretary of Educationon the grounds that she and her husband had donated to theFoundation for Individual Rights in Education(FIRE), which seeks to "defend individual rights on college campuses". "Ms. DeVos must fully explain whether she supports the radical view that it should be more difficult for campus sexual-assault victims to receive justice," said Casey. In an op-ed inThe Wall Street Journal,FIRE co-founderHarvey Silverglatenoted that "FIRE vigorously defends thefree-speechand due-process rights of college students and faculty "and that the organization" is nonpartisan and has defended students and faculty members on the left and right ", making" common cause with politically diverse organizations ranging from theAmerican Civil Liberties Unionand theNational Association of Criminal Defense LawyerstoThe Heritage Foundation,Young Americans for Libertyand theCato Institute".[44]Casey's position was challenged inUSA TodaybyStuart TaylorandKC Johnson,who pointed out that, contrary to a letter in which Casey and Sen.Patty Murray(WA) described campus sexual assault as "affecting millions of college students", 5,178 campus rapes were reported in 2014.[45]Politicoran a prominent piece that echoed Casey's characterization of FIRE,[46]whileNational Reviewand other publications assailed Casey and defended FIRE.[47][48][49][50][51]

Energy and environment

In a debate, Casey criticized hisRepublicanopponentRick Santorumfor not recognizing the danger ofglobal warming.[52]

In February 2021, Casey was one of seven Democratic U.S. senators to join Republicans in blocking a ban ofhydraulic fracturing,commonly known as fracking.[53]

Foreign policy

Among over 70 other senators, Casey wrote to urge theEuropean Unionto designateHezbollahas a terrorist organization.[54]He introduced the Stop Terrorist Operational Resources and Money (STORM) Act of 2016, which punishes countries that accept terrorist financing by their citizens or within their borders. Casey voted for theProtect and Preserve International Cultural Property Act,which was designed to ensure that the U.S. is not a market forantiquitieslooted from Syria and which was signed into law by Obama.[55][56][57]

Casey condemned thegenocideof theRohingya Muslimminority inMyanmarand called for a stronger response to the crisis.[58]

In April 2019, Casey was one of thirty-four senators to sign a letter to President Trump encouraging him "to listen to members of your own Administration and reverse a decision that will damage our national security and aggravate conditions inside Central America", asserting that Trump had "consistently expressed a flawed understanding of U.S. foreign assistance" since becoming president and that he was "personally undermining efforts to promote U.S. national security and economic prosperity" through preventing the use of Fiscal Year 2018 national security funding. The senators argued that foreign assistance to Central American countries created less migration to the U.S., citing the funding's helping to improve conditions in those countries.[59]

In January 2024, Casey voted against a resolution, proposed by SenatorBernie Sanders,to apply thehuman rightsprovisions of theForeign Assistance ActtoU.S. aid to Israel's military.The proposal was defeated, 72 to 11.[60]

Government spending and taxes

In December 2012, Casey introduced legislation that would extend thepayroll taxcut for another year and providetax creditsfor employers that add jobs.[61]

In December 2016, Casey joined a group of other Senate Democrats led byJoe Manchinof West Virginia who wanted expiring benefits for retired coal workers to be extended.[62]Casey, described as "unusually animated", said he would "vote against a must-pass spending bill needed to keep the government running" if the coal miners' benefits were not extended.[63]

Alongside all other Senate Democrats, Casey voted against theTax Cuts and Jobs Act,saying that it was "a giveaway to the super rich".[64]Casey also proposed to expand the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit prior to the TCJA's passage, and theTax Cuts and Jobs Actincorporated a larger expansion of this credit.[65]

Gun policy

On June 16, 2016,The Washington Postreported that "'pro-gun' Bob Casey" had become "an evangelist forgun controllaws ". After theSandy Hook school massacrein December 2012, he had "completely flipped his views" on several gun issues, largely as a result of having been "accosted" by his wife and daughter. "Casey has since embraced every major proposal to counter gun violence," reported thePost,"including a renewed ban onassault weaponsand enhancedbackground checksbefore gun purchases. "In the wake of theOrlando Pulse massacre,he unveiled theHate Crimes Prevention Act,which would have prevented persons convicted ofhate crimesfrom purchasing weapons. He said he had never really thought about the gun issue until Sandy Hook, "coasting along with Pennsylvania's traditional pro-gun views in a state where theNational Rifle Associationhas held sway for decades ". After Sandy Hook, he" found it unacceptable that the NRA opposed any new laws ".[66]

On June 25, 2016,Philadelphiamagazine ran an article about Casey's "profound about-face on gun control", noting that it had taken place within "a matter of days" and that Casey "was the first to introduce gun control legislation after the massacre in Orlando". Casey said that his switch had been a result of "thinking of the enormity of it, what happened to those children, which was indescribably horrific, and then having my wife and daughter say to me, 'You're going to vote on this at some point. How are you going to vote?'" He said that "I had to ask myself that question, because normally I would stay in my lane. There's only two lanes on this. It's the NRA lane, or the voting for commonsense gun measures lane. So I decided whether I was going to stay in the old lane, in which I had traveled a long time but really had never been challenged or had to cast a real big vote."[67]

Healthcare

Casey supported PresidentBarack Obama's health reform legislation; he voted for thePatient Protection and Affordable Care Actin December 2009,[68]and he voted for theHealth Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.[69]

In January 2019, Casey was one of six Democratic senators to introduce the American Miners Act of 2019, a bill that would amend theSurface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977to swap funds in excess of the amounts needed to meet existing obligations under the Abandoned Mine Land fund to the 1974 Pension Plan as part of an effort to prevent its insolvency as a result of coal company bankruptcies and the 2008 financial crisis. It also increased theBlack Lung Disability Trust Fundtax and ensured that miners affected by the 2018 coal company bankruptcies would not lose their health care.[70]

In August 2019, when asked during a town hall if he supportsMedicare for All,Casey declined to directly answer, but stated that he supports "universal coverage".[71]

In September 2019, amid discussions to prevent a government shutdown, Casey was one of six Democratic senators to sign a letter to congressional leadership advocating for the passage of legislation that would permanently fund health care and pension benefits for retired coal miners as "families in Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, Alabama, Colorado, North Dakota and New Mexico" would start to receive notifications of health care termination by the end of the following month.[72]

Abortion

In 2022, Casey reversed his prioranti-abortionposition and said he supports legislation to codify national abortion rights.[73][74][75]

Casey, along with 45 other U.S. senators, voted in favor of allowing debate to continue on theWomen's Health Protection Actin a roll call vote held on February 28, 2022.[76]Casey voted for the measure again on May 11 in the wake of the leak of the decision onDobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.Casey said that if the bill passed cloture, he would still vote for it.[77]

While he has identified as pro-life,[78][79]and he had previously expressed support for overturningRoe v. Wade,[80]a 2018Politicoarticle indicated that "[a]fter a decade in the Senate, Casey has become an increasingly reliable vote in support of abortion rights — scoring as high as 100 percent on NARAL Pro-Choice America's vote tally in 2016 and 2017... although his 2018 rating is sure to be lower."Politicoacknowledged that scorecards "are an imperfect calculation of a lawmaker's position", adding that Casey asserted that he had voted anti-abortion on 13 of the 15 abortion-related measures during his career.[78]According toPolitico,"Like conservative anti-abortion groups, [Casey] opposes theRoedecision and opposes the taxpayer funding of the [abortion] procedure. But like progressive abortion rights organizations, he supports Obamacare, access to contraception through programs such as Title X and funding for Planned Parenthood. "[78]Casey considersbirth controlas a tool to reduce the demand for abortions. He has called on greater funding for access to birth control measures, specifically supportingPlanned Parenthood's efforts in making contraception more accessible.[78]

In 2015 and 2018, Casey joined two other Democrats (Joe ManchinandJoe Donnelly) by voting for bills that would ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.[81][82]

In 2017, Casey voted for legislation that would have overturned theMexico City Policy,which prohibits foreign aid for organizations that provide or promote abortion.[83][84]Casey's vote for overturning that policy promptedanti-abortionactivists to question his commitment to theanti-abortioncause.[84]TheNational Right to Life Committeecriticized Casey for his 2017 vote against the confirmation ofNeil Gorsuchto the Supreme Court of the United States.[85][78]

For the 2012 election, Casey was endorsed inNARAL Pro-Choice America's election guide. In 2011, he voted against defunding Planned Parenthood, cutting funding for contraception, against H.R.1 and for cloture for the nomination ofGoodwin Liu,earning him a 100% rating from NARAL.[86]

In 2011 Casey stated he supports over-the-counter sale of the morning-after pill for the purpose of emergency contraception.[87]

In January 2010, during a debate on theAffordable Care Act,Casey was heckled for his handling of the abortion provisions in the health-care bill and for not taking an uncompromisinganti-abortionstance. Casey was the primary sponsor of an amendment to prevent government funds from being used for abortion services, but when he tried to organize a compromise that appealed to both Democrats and the party's lone holdout (Sen. Ben Nelson), he angered some religious groups.[88][89]

In 2005, Casey opposed the funding ofembryonic stem cellresearch.[90]In 2006, Casey supported theDFLA'sPregnant Women Support Act,[91]which sought to reduce abortion by providing support to women experiencing unplanned pregnancies. However, Casey has voted against barring HHS grants to organizations that provide abortion services, where such services may often not be central to the organization's chief purpose.[92]

Housing

In April 2019, Casey was one of forty-one senators to sign a bipartisan letter to the housing subcommittee praising theUnited States Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 4 Capacity Building program as authorizing "HUD to partner with national nonprofit community development organizations to provide education, training, and financial support to local community development corporations (CDCs) across the country" and expressing disappointment that President Trump's budget "has slated this program for elimination after decades of successful economic and community development." The senators wrote of their hope that the subcommittee would support continued funding for Section 4 in Fiscal Year 2020.[93]

Immigration laws

Casey supported the Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348), a bill voted down in the110th United States Congress,which would have provided a path to legal citizenship forundocumented personscurrently residing in the United States. He also supported the Clinton amendment, the Menendez amendment, and the Alaska amendments.[94]

During the 2006 Senate race, Casey expressed support for theComprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006.[95]

He voted to continue federal funds for declared "sanctuary cities."[96]

He took part in aPhiladelphia International Airportprotest against President Trump's January2017 travel ban.[26]Leaving a black tie event Saturday night to join the protest, he tweeted: "I won't stand by as the promise of America is diminished."[97]

In May 2017, Casey, along with nine other senators and 13 members of the House of Representatives, requested in a letter to theHomeland Security Secretary,that they stop the detention of four children and their mothers at theBerks County Residential Center.Many of the families had been detained there without legal recourse for more than a year and a half. Casey also personally took to social media with impassioned appeals to the White House on behalf of a Honduran 5 year old and his 25-year-old mother being held at the same facility, and were now facing deportation. They had fled violence and death threats and sought asylum in the US back in 2015, but failed theircredible fearinterview. Attorneys have since been appealing their case, and the legal team was in the middle of the process of applying forSpecial Immigrant Juvenile Statusfor the child when they were awakened at 3:30AM on May 3 byImmigration and Customs Enforcementand put on a plane to Honduras. "This child and his mother deserved better from this Administration. They got the absolute worst," Casey remarked.[98][99]

In June 2019, Casey and six other Democratic senators were led by Hawaii SenatorBrian Schatzin sending letters to the Government Accountability Office along with the suspension and debarment official and inspector general at the US Department of Health and Human Services citing recent reports that showed "significant evidence that some federal contractors and grantees have not provided adequate accommodations for children in line with legal and contractual requirements" and urged officials in the government to determine whether federal contractors and grantees are in violation of contractual obligations or federal regulations and should thus face financial consequences.[100]

Judicial nominees

He expressed support for the confirmation of bothJohn Roberts[101]andSamuel Alito[102]for seats on theSupreme Court of the United States;these judges were believed to be in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade.

Casey voted for the confirmation of bothSonia Sotomayor[103]andElena Kaganto theSupreme Court of the United States.[104]

In March 2017, Casey voted against confirmingNeil Gorsuchto the Supreme Court, citing "real concerns" with Gorsuch's "rigid and restrictive" judicial philosophy, and some of his past opinions on issues relating to the health and safety of workers and the rights of those with disabilities.[105]He also voted against theconfirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.[106]On October 23, 2020, Casey voted against theconfirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.[107]

LGBT rights

Casey voted for theDon't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010.[108][109]

Casey, a longtime supporter of civil unions, stated his support for same-sex marriage on April 1, 2013.[110][111]He also supports the adoption of children by same-sex couples.[43]

In June 2019, Casey was one of eighteen senators to sign a letter toUnited States Secretary of StateMike Pompeorequesting an explanation of a decision by the State Department to not issue an official statement that year commemoratingPride Monthnor issue the annual cable outlining activities for embassies commemorating Pride Month. They also questioned why the LGBTI special envoy position had remained vacant and asserted that "preventing the official flying of rainbow flags and limiting public messages celebrating Pride Month signals to the international community that the United States is abandoning the advancement of LGBTI rights as a foreign policy priority."[112]

Personal life

Casey and his wife Terese were married in 1985, and they have four daughters: Elyse, Caroline, Julia, and Marena.[113]In 2023, Casey announced that he hadprostate cancerand would undergo treatment.[114][115]
