Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) acknowledged Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick’s victory over incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), undercutting Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Casey who continue to deny the election results.
The Associated Press (AP) called the race for McCormick Thursday after the few remaining votes left to be counted do not present Casey with a path to victory.
McCormick leads by almost 40,000 votes, but Manchin is the first member of Schumer’s Democrat Caucus to acknowledge the inevitable.
“While we are losing a good person and colleague in Senator Bob Casey, I believe the Senate will be gaining another good man in Senator-Elect David McCormick,” Manchin tweeted Sunday.
“Senator-Elect McCormick has committed to putting our country first, working in a bipartisan way, and most importantly, committed to preserving the 60 vote threshold of the filibuster.”
Schumer, by denying McCormick’s victory, is denying the senator-elect from participating in Senate orientation, a valuable period for new senators to learn the ropes to best work for the states as well as get to know their future colleagues.
Republicans blasted Schumer on Sunday for not allowing McCormick to attend Senate orientation.
“Senator-elect Dave McCormick won,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) tweeted. “Chuck Schumer’s shameful, election-denying decision to block McCormick from Senate orientation shows Schumer’s true character.”
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) pointed out Democrats’ hypocrisy by refusing to acknowledge the election.

Chuckles, an election denier? Why that’s borderline insurrection!
I hope that Joe Manchin is correct. Pennsylvania is one of the leading states in election cheating.
Schumer, is it about time you started ‘spending more time with your family’? Take Nagging Nancy with you, on your way out!
I don’t think Schumer would give any validity to what Manchin said. Manchin already scuttled two bi spending bills, and he won’t be in the Senate anymore, so Schumer doesn’t have to pretend to be nice anymore.
They’ll have to pry his seat from his cold hands. Who knew the D’Amato loss would turn out so bad?
There’s an entire movement afoot to Election Deny - saying Musk stole it with Starlink.
They use the ‘missing votes’ from 2020 as evidence Trump stole it.
Seriously.
Are the Dems doing this, because they think they can still manufacture the votes to win?
“Are the Dems doing this, because they think they can still manufacture the votes to win?”
Like I said above, it is after all Pennsylvania.
I still say Schumer needs a new ReidCo treadmill for Christmas
Yup. Ol’ Alfonse was not perfect, but what we got instead is a demon from the synagogue of satan.
Who cares! They stole the Nevada Senate election and will steal Arizona. It’s like this crap is negotiated in the back rooms.
Democrats are sore losers...
I said from start McCormick will underperform Trump. If Trump
Wins by 3 almost certain McCormick would win. Trump won by 2 and McCormick is on the bubble.
The vile wicked leftists, the aging corrupted Democrats, the CCP tools, the Marxists and the RINOs are all desiring to somehow hamstring and bind up President Trump from his very first day.
Their leaders have slithered down a dark hole to plot in secret. Obama is hidden away out of the Country. They are all reprobates and worship the lawless spirit of anti-Christ.
Their worship of Death and Hell being hindered is why so many are shrieking as if in agony being cast out of their wicked spiritual authority across America.
This is why we shouldn’t work with the RATs. They’re petty, evil little boys and should be ignored whenever possible.
“.....the Senate will be gaining another good man in Senator-Elect David McCormick,”
Manchin tweeted. “McCormick has committed to putting our country first”.......
......as has President Trump.........
I hope this puts an end to the Casey Dynasty at last!
Hard to take Manchin. Despite all his posturing, he voted exactly as Schumer told him on every major issue over the last four years causing great harm to America. Now this is the best he can do standing up to Schumer? Schumer is laughing at him.
The missing votes can be explained by a great lack of enthusiasm for the cackler, combined with the loss of several million phantom votes that went for Biden in 2020, IMO.
