1:48Now PlayingHow many Senate seats can Democrats get in November's election? Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., says the number could be as many as 51.
In an interview with PBS News on Night 1 of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Peters, the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said he's confident the party will keep a Senate majority, if not expand the map.
He credited enthusiasm around Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket for helping bring energy to down-ballot races, including competitive Senate seats. He said he thought Democrats could secure wins against Republican incumbents who aren't polling well in Texas and Florida. Peters also said the group has seen record fundraising after Harris joined the race.
