Sen. Chuck Schumer has banned Dave McCormick from attending orientation. His opponent, incumbent Bob Casey, was down over 40,000 ballots yesterday; allegedly, only 30,000 remain outstanding. Casey won’t concede.
The AP called the election for Dave McCormick as the new senator for Pennsylvania.
Chuck Schumer has refused to allow Dave McCormick to attend the new senator orientation.
Mike Lee and other senators plan to walk Dave McCormick into the orientation, daring Schumer to have them arrested.
.@SenSchumer, let @DaveMcCormickPA into new-member orientation!
I can’t think of another time when a senator-elect has been excluded from the Senate’s week-long orientation for new senators—which is set to occur this week https://t.co/UXxaaFU21R

Fantastic! So glad that I’ll be joined by @KatieBrittforAL and @Eric_Schmitt in escorting @DaveMcCormickPA into the Capitol for “freshman orientation,” from which Schumer is trying to exclude McCormick.

Senator-elect Dave McCormick won.
Chuck Schumer's shameful, election-denying decision to block McCormick from Senate orientation shows Schumer's true character.

Senator Schumer not allowing Senator-elect @DaveMcCormickPA to be a part of Senate orientation this week is unacceptable.

Every vote should be counted but it’s clear @DaveMcCormickPA has won this race and I’m excited to be able to serve alongside him. He should be able to attend orientation this week with all his new colleagues so that he’s ready to start serving his constituents in Pennsylvania.

What the HELL is going on at the Bob Casey campaign headquarters? @Bob_Casey @BobCaseyHQ
DAVE MCCORMICK IS THE WINNER
The only remaining votes are coming in from Cambria County (GOP stronghold)
It's time for Bob Casey to concede the race to @DaveMcCormickPA
DO IT BOB!!!

PS: @DaveMcCormickPA won and there is no universe where that can be undone, even with votes still outstanding. https://t.co/bxdR4aXKBE

PA voters elected @DaveMcCormickPA. The campaign is over and the political denialism and obstruction needs to end. Democratic Senate leadership must allow Dave to attend orientation with his new colleagues so he can get to work. https://t.co/3ypjwssZW6
