The economy will save our majority, say Senate Dems

Sen. Mark Pryor (Ark.), one of the Democratic Party’s most vulnerable incumbents, said an improving economy “probably” will help him.

“I think the overall economy is resilient,” he said. “Sometimes the gridlock and bickering up here in Washington hurts the economy, but I think the economy will continue to get a little stronger over the course of the year.

“I assume that tends to help incumbents,” he added.

Sen. Michael Bennet (Colo.), the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said there’s “no question” a rising economy will help Democrats retain the Senate.

“That’s really what people at home are focused on and that’s what they’ll make their judgments based on at the end of the day, whether they’re seeing economic growth,” he said.
