The Conference: The Top with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.)

Published | Video Starts at 14:39

We're in, you know, we're feeling we have to fight every day. We can't get complacent. And believe me, we won't because so much is at stake with this administration. Two words, Supreme Court. If we don't take back the Senate and there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court and Trump puts in a right wing ICE person who's 40, we're sacrificing the world of our children and grandchildren. I actually, on my iPad, I have the pictures of my three grand. I have four now, but little one was too little to take a picture. He's four months. (14:39–14:52)

CLAIM

Asserts that if Democrats do not regain control of the Senate, a right-wing Supreme Court appointment by Trump could have long-term negative impacts.
