Bob Casey zeroes in on 'greedflation' message in key Pennsylvania Senate race

Casey slams GOP rival Mehmet Oz over corporate greed fueling rising costs

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Bob Casey is ramping up his attacks on Republican rival Mehmet Oz, accusing him of being too cozy with corporate interests and out of touch with the struggles of everyday Pennsylvanians. Casey's latest broadside comes as the midterm elections heat up, and both candidates are vying for the support of voters in one of the most closely watched races in the country.

In a new ad, Casey accuses Oz of profiting from "greedflation" — a term coined to describe the recent spike in inflation that has been driven in part by corporate price gouging. The ad features footage of Oz making statements that appear to downplay the impact of inflation on working families.

Casey's attacks on Oz are part of a broader effort by Democrats to paint Republicans as beholden to special interests and out of touch with the needs of the middle class. Democrats are hoping to capitalize on voter anger over rising costs to win back control of Congress in the midterm elections.

Casey's 'greedflation' message resonates with voters

Casey's message appears to be resonating with voters, according to a recent poll. The poll found that 62% of Pennsylvania voters believe that corporations are taking advantage of inflation to raise prices.

The poll also found that Casey leads Oz by a margin of 52% to 42%. This is a significant lead, but it is within the margin of error. The race is expected to be close, and both candidates are likely to spend heavily in the final weeks of the campaign.

Oz defends himself against Casey's attacks

Oz has defended himself against Casey's attacks, saying that he is committed to fighting inflation and protecting consumers. He has also accused Casey of being a career politician who is out of touch with the needs of Pennsylvanians.

The race between Casey and Oz is one of the most closely watched in the country. The outcome of the race could have a significant impact on the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
