Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) invited Pennsylvania Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick to freshman Senate orientation after not extending an invitation due to uncounted ballots in the race. The Associated Press called the race for McCormick last Thursday, but incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) has refused to concede the race. McCormick was spotted on Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning, arriving to attend freshman orientation. In a video posted on social media on Tuesday, Casey said, "The American process was born in Pennsylvania, and that process will play out." Schumer's olive branch to McCormick came paired with an invite to Sen.-elect Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) to attend orientation after the Associated Press called the race for the Arizona Democratic congressman late on Monday. That final race call means the new Republican majority will be 53 seats compared to Schumer's 47 seats. |
