Could Democrats Hold the Senate?

“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer likes to remind everyone that he’s a perpetual optimist. During a convention week, it’s easy for that to verge into pure spin,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Despite facing their worst electoral map in years, Schumer and other top Democrats say their chances of holding the Senate are far better than they appear.”

“A mix of newfound enthusiasm for the top of the ticket thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris, plus what Democrats see as a repeat of Republicans’ ‘candidate quality’ problem, has Schumer putting his usual optimism into overdrive.”
