An excited Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer took a victory lap after Democrats are projected to also win control of the Senate, lamenting Republicans for embracing President Trump, pointing directly at him as the reason why Republicans lost control of Congress.

Schumer brushed aside concern about Trump vowing to become the “veto President,” telling reporters, "Look, we're going to deliver for the people of America with or without the president."
