Inside Schumer’s Plot to Be Majority Leader

“A Democratic majority in the Senate, which once looked assured in the fall of 2016, has eluded the New York Democrat for two consecutive Senate cycles. Now, Schumer is recruiting high-profile Democrats in swing states and deep red territory — searching for any advantage he can find to net at least three seats he needs for his party to finally assume power,” Politico reports.

Said Schumer: “There’s a real thirst to win in 2020, and I’m getting good vibes. There’s going to be a fervor I think for taking back the Senate this election the way there was taking back the House in the last one.”
