The New York Times“In the wake of Biden’s disastrous debate performance, Democrats were disheartened and openly worried about losing the White House and losing power in both chambers of Congress. And Schumer still has big challenges ahead, with his Senate majority at risk and must-win elections like Montana and Ohio looming if he wants to stay in power next year. Some struggling candidates are staying home and campaigning rather than mingling with fellow Democrats at Chicago’s United Center.”
“But there’s no doubt Democrats are feeling the wind at their back in Chicago.

Polls show the presidential race is essentially neck and neck, and lower-ranked Democratic candidates are riding the wave of enthusiasm generated by Harris’ candidacy.”
