DNC doubles down: Dems will hold Senate

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) on Tuesday morning repeated recent comments that her party would hold the Senate and pick up gubernatorial positions.

She also defended her party’s focus this cycle on women’s issues.

“I think when you talk about economic issues that are important to women, healthcare issues that are important to women, you’re always talking about important, top-of-the-agenda things,” she said.

High-profile Democrats have predicted in the past few days that they would hold the Senate. On Monday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said that the White House has faith in the party’s turnout operation. Vice President Biden also said he believes Democrats will hold the upper chamber.
