Senator-Elect Dave Mccormick Excluded From Senate Orientation By Schumer

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) speaks to the media

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has decided not to allow Senator-elect Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania to attend Senate orientation in the upcoming week. This decision comes despite the Associated Press projecting McCormick as the winner of the Pennsylvania Senate race. Schumer's spokesperson stated that with over 100,000 ballots still to be counted in Pennsylvania, the race has not been officially decided, and the winner will be invited once the votes are fully tallied.

Several Republican senators have criticized Schumer for not inviting McCormick to orientation, with some calling the move outrageous and a disservice to Pennsylvania and the country. The Pennsylvania Senate race was called by the AP on November 7, with McCormick currently leading his incumbent opponent by more than 30,000 votes.
