Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer‘s (D-NY) decision not to invite Senator-elect David McCormick (R-PA) to Senate orientation day was decried by Republicans.
McCormick was announced the winner of the 2024 Pennsylvania Senate election on Thursday, but incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) has refused to concede. In line with Casey’s refusal to concede, Schumer blocked McCormick from orientation day.
“With over 100,000 ballots left to be counted in Pennsylvania, the race has not been decided. As is custom, we will invite the winner once the votes are counted,” a Schumer spokesperson told the Washington Examiner in a statement.
Republicans were swift in expressing their outrage over the move.
“Senator-elect Dave McCormick won,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said. “Chuck Schumer’s shameful, election-denying decision to block McCormick from Senate orientation shows Schumer’s true character.”
