David Harold McCormick (born August 17, 1965) is an American politician and businessman. He is a United States Senator-elect for Pennsylvania. He served as chief executive officer (CEO) of Bridgewater Associates, one of the world's largest hedge funds, from 2020 to 2022.[2][3]

A member of the Republican Party, McCormick served as Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs from 2007 to 2009.[3] He was a candidate for Senate in 2022 but lost the Republican primary to Mehmet Oz by fewer than 1,000 votes.

McCormick ran again for Senate in 2024, winning the Republican nomination unopposed. He faced incumbent Democratic incumbent Bob Casey Jr. in the general election. As of November 10, the Associated Press, NPR, and Fox News called the race[4] in favor of McCormick, but ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC have yet to make a projection.
