With Rob Woodall not running for reelection to the United States House of Representatives for Georgia's 7th congressional district in the 2020 elections, McCormick announced his candidacy. He won the primary election, receiving more than 50% of the vote, avoiding a runoff election. McCormick lost the general election to Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux.
Following redistricting due to the 2020 U.S. census, McCormick announced his candidacy in the 2022 elections for the newly-redrawn Georgia's 6th congressional district, which became much more Republican-leaning. In a Republican primary with nine candidates, McCormick and Jake Evans advanced to a primary runoff. He defeated Evans in the runoff and won the November 8 general election against Democrat Bob Christian.

McCormick was among the 71 Republicans who voted against final passage of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 in the House.
On November 7, McCormick's H.Res. 845 censured Rashida Tlaib for "promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel".
In December 2023, fellow Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene accused McCormick of grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her, following a public spat between the two. She asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to investigate her claims. McCormick said he apologized for the interaction and despite an investigation by the Speaker of the House including a review of surveillance footage and dozens of witnesses, her allegations could not be corroborated.
Following the 2024 New Hampshire Republican primary in January, McCormick endorsed Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, writing, "I am calling on my fellow conservatives to join me in uniting behind Donald Trump for president." McCormick had previously supported Ron DeSantis's presidential bid. During an October 2024 rally for Trump's campaign at McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta, McCormick said that Trump should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
