Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was caught Thursday on a hot mic discussing Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s highly criticized debate performance against Dr. Mehmet Oz on Tuesday evening.
“We’re in danger in that seat,” Schumer told President Joe Biden in Syracuse, New York. It’s unclear which seat he is referring to, however.
Schumer goes on to tell the president that “the debate didn’t hurt us too much in Pennsylvania. So that’s good.”
The majority leader also commented on a race in Nevada, claiming that the Democrats are “picking up steam.” Although, it’s unclear whether he was referring to the Senate race or the gubernatorial election.
This comes as Republicans are gaining traction in several battleground state races. Polls have revealed tightening races in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and Oregon, among others.
Voters are increasingly worried about inflation and the economy, as well as crime, and they report trusting Republicans more on those issues, giving them an edge in the looming midterm elections.
