Schumer: Obama 'very amenable' to helping Senate Dems in midterm
By John Bowden - 06/06/18 02:24 PM EDT
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in an interview Wednesday that he expects former President Obama to continue being an active participant in national races ahead of the November midterms.
Schumer told The Washington Post that he has reached out to the former president on a number of issues related to 2018 House and Senate races, but declined to say what specifically he hoped Obama would do for congressional Democrats seeking to retake the majority in November.
"I've asked him to be involved in certain ways and he's been very amenable," Schumer said. Asked whether former President Clinton or 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton should be involved in congressional races, he demurred: "It's up to each candidate if they want them or don't want them."
