Dave McCormick plans to attend Senate orientation without Schumer invite

Sen.-elect Dave McCormick will travel to Washington, D.C., for freshman orientation on Tuesday, according to a source familiar with the matter, even as Democrats refuse to recognize him as Pennsylvania’s next senator.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has not invited McCormick to the meetings, convened for all new members of the Senate, noting that around 100,000 ballots must still be counted in his Senate race.
