Joni Ernst tells Schumer to 'get over' Bob Casey loss in Pennsylvania

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) rebuked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) decision not to invite Sen.-elect Dave McCormick (R-PA) to Senate orientation day, suggesting Schumer needs to “get over” the Democratic Party’s loss in the Pennsylvania Senate race.

While McCormick was declared the winner of his election against Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), the incumbent senator has yet to concede the race, with Schumer following suit and not inviting the Republican candidate to the Senate’s orientation. Ernst, one of many Republicans who have slammed Schumer’s decision, contended McCormick should “of course” attend the orientation and that Casey “lost” his bid for reelection after 18 years of service.
