## Resource

McCormick has argued that the country's greatest threat over the next several decades is not only military competition but also maintaining its economic and technological edge. In interviews discussing the nation's future, he has emphasized concerns including: The strategic competition with China, particularly in advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and biotechnology. The growing U.S. national debt and federal deficits, which he argues could weaken America's long-term economic strength. The need to invest in energy production, innovation, and workforce development to remain globally competitive. Ensuring the U.S. military retains a technological advantage while strengthening domestic manufacturing and supply chains.
