‘Red brick wall reduced to a pile of bricks’: Schumer on how Dems flipped Congress in the midterms
The party’s gains include a history-making Senate win in Kansas and leave two races still uncalled, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer described the Democratic victory as a "generational remake of the Senate map," with Democrats securing a 54-seat majority including two independent senators.
- Democrats secured major gains in states President Trump previously carried, including Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas, alongside a history-making win in Kansas that hasn't sent a Democrat to the Senate in 94 years.
- Schumer credited the wins to candidates who "knew how to tailor their message to the states," while two races in Alaska and Mississippi remain uncalled as of Wednesday.
- Democrats vowed that "relief is on the way" for voters, planning to drive down the cost of living, end the Iran war, and investigate the White House for corruption allegations.
- "The days of Trump's supplicant Senate are over," Schumer declared, though President Trump signaled openness to cutting deals with the Democratic-controlled Congress despite threatening to use his veto pen.
