#Pennsylvania senator David McCormick is throwing down another couple hundred thousand to front run the #StrategicBitcoinReserve and/or make a bet on the collapse of the United States (despite being one of the few hundred people who have enough political power to do something to stop that collapse, e.g. by changing the tariff laws).

IIRC (don't quote me) I think his last purchase was ~$600k so he's bought around a million dollars worth of magic beans in under a month personally.

David McCormick is gearing up for a Senate run in Pennsylvania. But he lives in Connecticut

While #McCormick does own a home in Pittsburgh, a review of public records, real estate listings and footage from recent interviews indicates he still lives on #Connecticut’s “#Gold #Coast,” one of the densest concentrations of wealth in America.

The former hedge fund CEO rents a $16 million mansion in #Westport that features a 1,500-bottle wine cellar, an elevator and a “private waterfront resort” overlooking Long Island Sound.

The trappings of a wealthy enclave, well outside Pennsylvania, offer a jarring contrast with the political identity McCormick has sought to cultivate, which emphasizes his upbringing buck hunting, his Army service and his desire to serve the #Keystone state.

Whether voters care will be tested anew should McCormick formally launch a campaign to unseat three-term Democratic Sen. Bob #Casey in the 2024 election, which will help determine partisan control of the chamber.

Recent #Senate history suggests that even favorite sons can be stung when loose ties to home become a campaign issue.
