Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) expressed her optimism for the Democratic Party as the midterm elections draw nearer.

Klobuchar is fresh from a campaign trip to New Hampshire, where she sought to help Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) ahead of his bid for the Senate. The Minnesota senator dismissed what CNN host Jake Tapper referred to as the Democrats’ “dismal approval ratings” while appearing on State of the Union Sunday.
