Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer just got into some hot water because he did not realize he was speaking to President Joe Biden with a hot mic on recording his secret words.
The two liberal men were talking about the state of the upcoming election, and Schumer was caught trying to blow smoke with President Biden.
He was spinning the results of the disastrous debate between John Fetterman and Dr. Mehemet Oz as not very damaging to the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania.
The majority leader not only called the results of the debate totally wrong for Biden, but he also told the president that their party was picking up momentum in Nevada.
The most interesting part of the conversation on the hot mic had Schumer telling Biden that the Democrats were going to have to concede the Georgia senate race.
Schumer said to Biden not knowing people could hear, ”It looks like the debate didn’t hurt us too much in Pennsylvania as of today, so that’s good…we’re picking up steam in Nevada…The state where we’re going downhill is Georgia. It’s hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker.”
Where in the world did Schumer get the idea that Fetterman’s terrible debate performance would not hurt Democrats in Pennsylvania? No one anywhere is saying that same thing. There hasn’t been any new polling yet and there is just no way any changes can be determined so quickly one way or another. His take seems like blind hope and desperation to assume PA Democrats are not suffering.
In Nevada, Republican Adam Laxalt is enjoying a firm lead against Democrat incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto.
The message on Georgia is the most interesting, it sounds good for the GOP, but most believe it is not true as well. If you go by the polls and the general sentiment surrounding the race, you would get the sense that Sen. Raphael Warnock is still the favorite.
