January 1, WATCH: Chuck Schumer Caught Saying Democrats Are “Going Downhill”

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1917: British government gives final approval to Balfour Declaration.

A live microphone caught Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) telling President Joe Biden that Democrats are “going downhill” in Georgia, dumbfounded that Republican candidate Herschel Walker might win the state’s Senate race.

Schumer also admitted that John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate in the Pennsylvania Senate race, damaged his chances with a lackluster debate performance.

“It looks like the debate didn’t hurt us too much in Pennsylvania as of today,” Schumer told Biden on during the President’s trip to New York on Thursday. “So that’s good.”

Fetterman had a stroke earlier this year, and is still dealing with lingering effects that impact his ability to communicate. Fox News reported that he needed closed captioning to understand comments from Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz and debate moderators.

Schumer also referred to another seat that he was pessimistic about.

“That seat, we’re in danger in that seat,” Schumer said. “We’ll see.”

It wasn’t clear which seat Schumer was referencing, but he appeared to be responding to Sen. Kristen Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), who had said the person is a “nice man” and “one of the only moderates” who “always works with us.”

The live microphone also caught Schumer saying he believed that the Democrats are “picking up steam in Nevada.”

“The state where we’re going down, though, is Georgia. It’s hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker,” he added.
