Furthermore, Democrats have more than double the number of Senate seats to defend compared to Republicans this year.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer took this opportunity to commend the Democratic presidential nominee for their contributions within the Senate: &#8220;Vice President Harris has been an exceptional partner for Senate Democrats,&#8221; he remarked. He noted that under her and President Biden&#8217;s leadership, they have managed to lower prescription drug prices and create millions of well-paying jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on his past collaboration with Kamala Harris when she was still a senator, he described her as a courageous leader.
