Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is promising Senate Democrats will retake control of the upper chamber in 2026 despite Congressional Democrats’ approval rating nearing record lows.
Schumer told Semafor on Tuesday that Democrats “are on offense” and pledged to send Senate Republicans back to the minority in the midterms, citing his belief that President Donald Trump and his agenda will become increasingly unpopular with voters. However, Schumer’s confidence in his party’s electoral prospects come as four Senate Democrats are choosing to retire rather than run for reelection and an increasing number of Americans sour on their job performance.
“I believe I will [become majority leader in 2027],” Schumer told Semafor. “Trump is alienating people left and right … the electorate will desert the Republican candidates who embraced Trump in an overwhelming way.”
Despite Trump’s approval ratings taking a slight hit and voters appearing to ding the president on his handling of the economy, Congressional Democrats’ approval numbers are significantly lower.
