US MIDTERMS: SCHUMER SAYS DEMOCRATS ARE "NAUSEOUSLY OPTIMISTIC"
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed cautious optimism after voting in Brooklyn, suggesting Democrats have a realistic chance of reclaiming the Senate.
"A year ago, no one thought we'd be even close to taking the Senate back," Schumer said.
Democrats are favored to flip the House, but the Senate remains highly competitive.
Republicans currently hold a 53–47 Senate majority, meaning Democrats must win several Republican-leaning states to secure control.
