Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic minority in the US Senate: The Democrats have a real chance to regain control of the Senate. After the vote in Brooklyn, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed cautious optimism that Democrats have a real chance of regaining control of the Senate. "A year ago, no one thought we would even come this close to taking back the Senate," Schumer said. The Democrats are expected to win the House of Representatives and take it from the Republicans, but the race for the Senate is still tight and very tight. The Republicans currently hold a majority in the Senate with 53 seats to the Democrats' 47 seats. That means Democrats need to win a few more Republican-leaning states to take control of the Senate.
