The Democrat charged with overseeing his partys efforts to maintain control of the Senate this year says Democrats are well positioned to not only hold their paper-thin majority in November but expand it.
Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), who chairs the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), told The Hills editor-in-chief, Bob Cusack, during an event on electric and autonomous vehicles on Tuesday that hes confident his partys most vulnerable Senate incumbents will win reelection this year, effectively preserving the current 50-50 split in the the upper chamber.
But he also said he was bullish about Democrats offensive opportunities, pointing to Republican-held seats in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania as top targets.
I feel very good about bringing back all the incumbents, so that gets us to 50. But, as you mentioned, I think we can go on the offense, Peters said. There are a number of states that look good. Ill just mention two: We have both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
