    Politico reports Schumer's leadership depends on midterm outcome

    Political reporting indicates that if Democrats win Senate control in Tuesday's midterms—a goal recently elevated from longshot to realistic—Schumer will easily retain his leadership position. If Democrats underperform expectations, his path becomes less certain.

    “Schumer delivering a Democratic Senate certainly justifies another term as leader.”
    — Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
