Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Democrats have to focus and "put a knife" the heart of the Republican economic agenda. Schumer also addressed the Florida recount that will decide the political future of Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL).



"With the Senate map wildly tilted in Republicans' favor, we're at worst only one seat worse off than we were when we stood here two years ago, and if Bill Nelson wins, which I believe he has a very good chance of doing, we'll be even," Schumer said.



"When all the votes are counted in Florida, we could be just where we started at the beginning of the 115th Congress, with 48 members, even facing the worst map that we've ever had," he added.
