Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) projected confidence that Democrats can reclaim the Senate in the 2026 midterm elections in an interview released Saturday, arguing the party now has multiple paths to a majority as it seeks a net gain of four seats.

Schumer’s optimism comes as Democrats navigate a series of high-profile Senate races that could determine control of the chamber and expose broader ideological tensions within the party.
