Schumer Predicts Dems Will Hold Senate In 2024

NBC News reports:

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, beaming with confidence after having proved his doubters wrong and expanded his majority in the midterm elections, vowed without hesitation that the Democratic Party will keep control again in two years.

“Yes, I absolutely do [believe it will] if we stick to our North Star, which is: help people with things that they need help with,” Schumer, D-N.Y., said in an interview Wednesday in the Capitol.

It will be a herculean task. Democrats are defending three seats in the Republican-leaning states of West Virginia, Montana and Ohio. They’re looking to hold five more seats in the closely divided states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and Arizona, where Sen. Kyrsten Sinema recently quit the party.

Read the full article. Schumer is basing his prediction on his belief that the “MAGA influence” will continue to damage Republicans even if Trump is not the nominee.
