Schumer says Harris ticket boosts prospects for Democratic candidates
Briefly

Schumer expressed optimism over Democrats retaining control of the Senate, attributing it to Vice President Harris's ability to connect with middle-class voters and her prosecutorial background against Trump.
Acknowledging past voter apathy under Biden, Schumer noted how Harris's rise has revitalized the party, stating that Democrats are performing better than expected in key battleground states.
Addressing the rural vote, Schumer noted that while Democrats might not win rural counties, they aim to decrease the margins by which Republicans win in those areas.
Schumer highlighted abortion as a critical issue, emphasizing that while Biden's achievements didn't resonate widely, local senators were effectively connecting with voters over specific projects.
