Pennsylvania's hotly contested Senate race hangs in the balance nearly a week after Election Day, with Republicans declaring victory and Democrats holding out hope that the remaining batch of outstanding ballots will allow them to close the gap. NBC News has yet to project a winner in the contest between Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Republican Dave McCormick, who are separated by just over 40,000 votes with 98% of the expected vote in. An estimated 122,000 ballots have yet to be tallied.
John Thune of South Dakota, who is running to be the GOP leader, said on X that “the idea that Schumer would not allow him to participate in Senate orientation is beyond unacceptable.” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., called Schumer's move to hold off on inviting McCormick a 'shameful, election-denying decision' in a post on X. A Schumer spokesperson defended the decision, pointing to the number of ballots that have yet to be counted in Pennsylvania.
