In his remarks, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer praised Vice President Harris and said she will need a Democratic majority if she wins the presidency.
"She can't do it alone," he said.

Schumer predicted Democrats will perform well this November, calling back to the "red wave" prediction that didn't materialize in 2022 and listing candidates he said are strong in closely-watched races in Montana, Arizona and Maryland.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my good friends at this convention: I am telling all of you now we're going to hold the Senate again and we're poised to pick up seats," he said.
Schumer served alongside Harris in the Senate.
