At the Democratic National Convention, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urged Democrats to not just defeat President Trump in November by supporting Joe Biden, but also to help swing the Senate to Democratic leadership.
Schumer characterized Biden as a man of dignity, integrity and leadership, contrasting Trump as a man who accepted the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans from coronavirus with a shrug, saying “It is what it is.”
“Donald Trump has quit on you,” Schumer said.
Schumer said that a Democratic Senate will work together across the board to make changes in the way the Senate operates. “We will stay united, from Sanders and Warren to Manchin and Warner.”
“After this long national nightmare, America will finally awaken to a brighter future and a new day,” Schumer said.
