Schumer Caught on Hot Mic Talking Strategy

October 27, 2022 · 7:00 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was caught on a hot mic talking candidly with President Biden about election strategy, Politico reports.

Said Schumer: “It looks like the debate didn’t hurt us too much in Pennsylvania as of today, so that’s good… We’re picking up steam in Nevada… The state where we’re going downhill is Georgia. It’s hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker… But our early turnout in Georgia, huge. Huge.” 

Schumer also mentioned Democrats were “in danger” of losing a seat, but its unclear which seat he was referring to.
