<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has invited Pennsylvania Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick to the Senate orientation despite Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) holding out on a concession.</p>
<p>On Thursday, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/pennsylvania-senate-2024-election-david-mccormick-casey-866a8712dea0b52b5d8d6b4844968b53" target="_blank" rel="noopener">projected</a> that McCormick would win the race over Casey, but Democrats have refused to concede as ballots are still being processed. McCormick leads Casey by more than 35,000 votes, with 99% of the ballots counted. Schumer initially did not send invitations for Senate orientation to McCormick or Arizona Democrat Ruben Gallego, but after pressure from colleagues, Schumer changed his mind, POLITICO <a href="https://x.com/burgessev/status/1856317748948639840?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ruben Gallego and David McCormick have been invited to attend orientation,&#8221; a spokesman for Schumer said on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Multiple outlets have yet to declare a winner in the Pennsylvania race, and Casey, a three-term senator, is still telling voters he is waiting for more ballots to be counted.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our Commonwealth ran a free and fair election, and we are still waiting on the final results,&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/Bob_Casey/status/1856063317741117611" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> on Monday. &#8220;Our election officials will continue counting ballots and ensure that Pennsylvanians’ voices are heard.&#8221;</p>
<p>Multiple senators, however, urged Schumer to extend the invitations to McCormick and Gallego. Outgoing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) <a href="https://x.com/kyrstensinema/status/1855753841439813977" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X on Sunday, &#8220;In 2018 my race wasn’t called for 6 days. I jumped on a redeye to DC to make senate orientation-I learned so much &amp; made lasting relationships that week. Dave McCormick &amp; Ruben Gallego will be Senators for PA &amp; AZ. They should be invited to orientation &amp; start learning the job.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some Republican senators <a href="https://x.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1855713897690583215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they would &#8220;personally escort McCormick into the building&#8221; if Schumer didn&#8217;t extend an invitation. &#8220;It’s an absolute outrage that Schumer is trying to exclude @DaveMcCormickPA from new-senator orientation,&#8221; Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) posted on X on Sunday.</p>

<p>Schumer was also pushed by moderate Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Susan Collins (ME) to send an invitation to McCormick, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4985518-schumer-mccormick-gallego-senate-orientation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>With McCormick&#8217;s win, Republicans will hold 53 seats in the new Senate, giving President-elect Donald Trump a comfortable Republican majority as he begins his second term on January 20. Republicans are also projected to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-projected-to-win-house-complete-2024-sweep" target="_blank" rel="noopener">keep their control</a> of the House.</p>
