Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., hasn’t conceded the Pennsylvania Senate race, despite The Associated Press and other news organizations calling it for his Republican challenger Dave McCormick. As of Monday, Nov. 11, McCormick was up by approximately 40,000 votes with a little over 100,000 ballots left to be counted.

“There are more than 100,000 ballots left to be counted – including tens of thousands of provisional ballots in counties favorable to Senator Casey,” a member of Casey’s campaign said.

McCormick declared victory and filed a lawsuit to allow Republican poll watchers to more easily challenge any uncounted provisional ballots they believe were cast improperly.
McCormick indicated he was already looking forward to his first week in Washington, D.C., and getting to work.
“So we have leadership elections in Washington, for the leadership of the Senate. Dean and I had a talk with President Trump yesterday, there’s a huge agenda that he’s putting forward,” McCormick told supporters during his victory speech.
Despite McCormick’s win being called, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hasn’t invited him to the new senators orientation. Republican lawmakers are now calling him out.
Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., who’s a candidate for majority leader, called it unacceptable.
Dave McCormick is the new senator for Pennsylvania. The idea that Schumer would not allow him to participate in Senate orientation is beyond unacceptable.

The voters of Pennsylvania have spoken. Looking forward to having Dave’s strong voice in the Senate Republican Conference.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., asked, “What happened to all the demands that our leaders accept the outcome of the elections?”
Schumer is not allowing @DaveMcCormickPA to participate in Senate orientation this week because Casey refuses to concede the race. What happened to all the demands that our leaders accept the outcome of the elections?
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) November 10, 2024
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said he’d personally escort McCormick into the Capitol.
I’m willing to personally escort @DaveMcCormickPA into the Capitol for new-senator orientation

I’d like to see how they’d keep him out if he literally walked into “the room where it happens” https://t.co/6grLl0eUcf
McCormick isn’t the only one who hasn’t been invited. Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., who is currently leading the Arizona Senate race over Republican candidate Kari Lake, hasn’t been invited either. Gallego was up by about 70,000 votes as of Monday, Nov. 11, but the AP had not called him the winner.
