是戴夫·麦考密克前对冲基金首席执行官和美国财政部副部长，再次在关键的摇摆州宾夕法尼亚州竞选参议员?
其他保守派希望如此，而且路透社周二报道麦考密克计划在本月晚些时候宣布参选。
这一次，如果麦考密克赢得共和党参议员提名，他将面临三次参议员鲍勃·凯西。获胜者可以决定众议院的权力平衡，目前民主党以51比49的比例占据优势。
麦考密克的发言人拒绝对美国广播公司新闻发表评论，但宾夕法尼亚州近100名共和党人本月签署了一封信，鼓励他重返竞选。
男性在2022年共和党参议院初选中险胜名人电视博士穆罕默德奥兹，谁当时被现任民主党人约翰费特曼击败。
这封信由阿勒格尼县共和党主席萨姆·德马科(Sam DeMarco)组织，有98人签名，包括该州主席劳伦斯·塔巴斯(Lawrence summers)。
德马科向美国广播公司表示，麦考密克决定是否参选的时间不多了。
“我认为他必须很快做出决定。我的意思是，你会想到这个月底，”他说。
在2022年的竞选之后，麦考密克继续在当地保持影响力，出现在该地区的当地活动派对上，在保守的播客上发表讲话，最近还为他的新书“处于危险中的超级大国:复兴美国的战斗计划”进行了巡回演出

麦考密克还为竞选连任的州财政部长斯泰西·加里蒂和众议员迈克·凯利游说。
如果他参选，麦考密克可能会因一个问题面临审查这部分定义了奥兹去年的竞选活动他住在哪里。
虽然奥兹搬到了宾夕法尼亚州，但他已经在新泽西州生活了三十多年，这引发了费瑟曼对他脱离选民的攻击。
最近，麦考密克在一次播客中告诉得克萨斯州参议员特德·克鲁兹，“我住在宾夕法尼亚州。”根据公共记录，他在匹兹堡有一套房子，出生在宾夕法尼亚州华盛顿城外。
但是美联社报道上个月，根据“房地产清单和最近采访的录像”，麦考密克仍然住在康涅狄格州。
州共和党领导人回击了这些居住报告，德马科称它们为“b -”，北安普顿县共和党主席格伦·盖辛格告诉美国广播公司新闻，“我知道戴夫·麦考密克是宾夕法尼亚人，我期待他谴责这些他住在康涅狄格州的谣言。”
麦考密克的女发言人在一份声明中说，“戴夫把宾夕法尼亚州当成自己的家已经30年了，在宾夕法尼亚州之外又为我们的国家服务了13年。这是他在伊拉克服役时寄信回去的地方，也是他三个女儿出生的地方。”
然而，这位女发言人承认，麦考密克“在他的女儿们完成高中学业时，在康涅狄格州保留了一处住所，[但]戴夫的家在匹兹堡，过去10年来，他在家乡布卢姆斯堡拥有一个农场，这是他的家族数十年来的事情。”
Republican who narrowly lost to Dr. Oz urged to run for Senate again
IsDave McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO and under secretary of the U.S Treasury, running for the Senate in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania -- again?
Other conservatives hope so, andReuters reported Tuesdaythat McCormick plans to announce his candidacy later this month.
This time around, if McCormick wins the GOP Senate nomination, he would be facing three-time Sen. Bob Casey. The winner could determine the balance of power in the chamber, currently held by Democrats 51-49.
A McCormick spokeswoman declined to comment to ABC News, but nearly 100 Republicans in Pennsylvania signed a letter this month encouraging him to get back in the race.
Henarrowly lost the 2022 GOP Senate primaryto celebrity TV Dr. Mehmet Oz, who was then defeated by incumbent Democrat John Fetterman.
"A combat veteran, job creator, public servant, and true Pennsylvania, we can think of no one better suited to serve the commonwealth in the United States Senate, and urge you to run in 2024," states the letter, which was organized by Allegheny County GOP Chair Sam DeMarco and signed by 98 people, including Lawrence Tabas, the chair of the state party.
DeMarco indicated to ABC News that time was running out for McCormick to decide whether or not to run.
"I would think he is going to have to make a decision very, very soon. I mean, you would think [by] the end of this month," he said.
After the 2022 race, McCormick has continued to maintain a presence on the ground, popping up at local event parties in the area, talking on conservative podcasts and was recently on tour for his new book, "Superpower in Peril: A battle plan to renew America"
McCormick has also gone out to stump for state Treasurer Stacy Garrity, who is running for reelection, and Rep. Mike Kelly.
Should he run, McCormick could face scrutiny over an issuethat partially defined Oz's campaign last year: where, exactly, he lives.
While Oz relocated to Pennsylvania, he had lived for more than three decades in New Jersey -- which fueled attacks from Fetterman that he was out of touch with voters.
Recently, McCormick told Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in a podcast appearance, "I live in Pennsylvania." He owns a home in Pittsburgh, according to public records, and was born in Washington, Pennsylvania, outside the city.
But theAssociated Press reportedlast month that according to "real estate listings and footage from recent interviews," McCormick still lived in Connecticut.
State Republican leaders have hit back at the residency reports, with DeMarco calling them "b-------" and Northampton County GOP Chair Glenn Geissinger telling ABC News, "I know Dave McCormick is a Pennsylvanian and I look forward to him denouncing these rumors that he lives in Connecticut."
The spokeswoman for McCormick said in a statement that "Dave has called Pennsylvania home for 30 years and served our country outside of Pennsylvania for an additional 13. It's the place he mailed letters back to when he served in Iraq and the place where three of his daughters were born."
The spokeswoman acknowledged, however, that McCormick "maintains a residence in Connecticut as his daughters finish high school, [but] Dave's home is in Pittsburgh and for the last 10 years he has owned a working farm in his hometown of Bloomsburg, which has been in the family for decades."
