US Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday that the American people voted in the midterm elections for change in the United States, and Democrats must fulfill the voters’ wishes expressed at the polls.
Speaking at a press conference after Democrats secured a majority in the Senate, which followed their earlier victory in gaining control of the House of Representatives, Schumer said: “Republicans chose to follow (US President Donald) Trump toward the abyss. While he sometimes spoke of peripheral issues, he often implemented policies that increased the financial burden on citizens, whether in electricity costs, healthcare, or the prices of goods.”
He added: “Republicans chose to follow Trump toward the abyss, even though his policies greatly exacerbated the hardships faced by American families.”
Schumer emphasized: “Today we are witnessing a fundamental reshaping of the Senate map, a change that will leave its mark on America in the present and the future. Americans voted for change, and it is now up to Democrats to deliver it.”
When asked by a journalist about the message he is sending to the Republican Party following Democrats’ sweeping victories in the midterm elections, Schumer said: “I hope Republicans learn the lesson that has eluded them thus far: listen to the American people.”
He added: “The American people want us to focus on addressing the cost of living, chaos, and corruption.”
