Democrats are having a tough time coming to grips with the results of the election.
With the massive win by President-elect Donald Trump, you see some folks on the left not able to wrap their brains around it. Some are attacking the voters, while some are claiming some kind of election fraud, including bizarre conspiracy theories about Russians and Starlink.

But definitely two of the people having the hardest time with the results are outgoing Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), who lost in Pennsylvania to Dave McCormick but doesn’t seem to want to accept it, and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who will no longer by Senate Majority Leader. Casey is refusing to concede and Schumer had said that he wasn’t going to be inviting McCormick to the Senate orientation.
That sounds a lot like some election denialism there, guys.

That got a lot of backlash, particularly from folks on the other side of the aisle.
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) called Schumer out for being a “big baby.”
Chuck Schumer is being a big baby.
The people of Pennsylvania elected @DaveMcCormickPA to the Senate and he should be allowed into Senate orientation tomorrow.

Schmitt said that he, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), and Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) to help walk him into the orientation, despite Schumer. Schmitt said it wasn’t just about McCormick, but about the people who elected him, they deserve to have him get the orientation so he can hit the ground running. McCormick also said he would be attending despite Schumer.

Now Schumer has finally caved and said that McCormick will be invited.
Schumer spox: “Ruben Gallego and David McCormick have been invited to attend orientation.”
GOP had sharply criticized Schumer after McCormick hadn’t been invited to orientation since ballots still outstanding and recount looms. But McCormick ahead by 0.5% of the vote with 98%…

Now, that’s what the Republicans have to do — all stand together in the face of the stupidity from the Democrats and make it happen to achieve what the people want. McCormick was way up in the count and the race was called; he is just refusing to concede. He’s still posting on X about it.
Across our Commonwealth, close to 7 million people cast their votes in a free and fair election.

Good for the Republicans for getting in Schumer’s face and showing him that he had no options. They need to do more of that, and now they have the strength of numbers with which they can get things done.
