    He’s a senator, so it would be the state of Pennsylvania.

    From my googling, there’s no legal mechanism in Pennsylvania to recall an elected official. However, even if there was, recalling a member of the U.S. Congress would be unconstitutional.

    The Senate would have to throw him out, and that’s not likely as long as the Republicans benefit from having him there.

        The state has no say in the matter. Neither does the Democratic caucus. The Constitution defines the circumstances under which a member of Congress could be removed. The only way to change that would be via an amendment to the Constitution.
