Schumer won't allow Dave McCormick at Senate orientation, citing outstanding PA ballots --McCormick was projected to win the race by The Associated Press  | 10 Nov 2024 | Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is not allowing Senator-elect Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania to attend Senate orientation in the coming week, pointing to outstanding ballots in the state, even though the race has already been called. Two sources with knowledge confirmed to Fox News Digital that McCormick was not invited to orientation, despite having been projected by the Associated Press to win the Pennsylvania Senate race. When reached by Fox News Digital, a Schumer spokesperson said in a statement, "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." The Pennsylvania Senate race was called by the AP on Nov. 7, two days after Election Day.
