I don't have insider knowledge, however he's no stranger to the big money firms on Wall Street. That's where he came from, and most likely he's planning to go back there.

In 2016 Pennsylvania could have elected Katie McGinty who would have done a great job as Senator and she would have worked for the PEOPLE of Pennsylvania instead of the one-per-centers. We are well rid of Pat Toomey who spent 4 long years enabling Chump.
