DCCC, DNC, and DSCC Chairs join Morning Joe on Election Day Eve to discuss Democrats' path to victory up and down the ballot
Today, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene, DSCC Chair Gary Peters, and DNC Chair Jaime Harrison joined MSNBC's Morning Joe to discuss Democrats' strong position heading into Election Day.
Up and down the ballot, Democrats have built strong ground operations to persuade and turn out voters for the 2024 election. Voters are seeing the stark contrast between Democrats' record of fighting for working families and Republicans' extreme attacks on abortion rights, efforts to gut affordable health care, and plans to raise taxes on the middle class.
Watch the full interview here.

I've been [in Iowa] for the last couple of days, and we have incredible enthusiasm on the ground. We are in a strong position to take back the majority in the House, and we only need to pick up… four more seats to take back the majority, and we've got three of them right here on the I-80 corridor.
Opportunities to pick up two seats in Iowa with Lanon Baccam and Christina Bohannan, and right next door in Omaha with Tony Vargas.
So we have an incredible ground game, just like Senator Peters was talking about. We are working hard to turn out every vote across the country, and our map is broad. We have races right here, but also in New York and California, in Alabama and Michigan and Wisconsin, all over the country. So we have an incredible opportunity to pick up seats everywhere.
There's enthusiasm, there's energy, and people are tired of the chaos, dysfunction, and extremism they've seen from House Republicans. All of those are reasons we win.
[…]
Folks are really tired of the extremism that they are seeing, and want people who are going to be independent leaders going back to Washington, D.C., to stand up for their communities. And so there has been tremendous energy on the ground. People are working hard to turn out every vote, and clearly the abortion ban that was put in place [in Iowa] has also energized women, and they are turning out, and women are going to have a strong voice this election everywhere, but definitely right here in Iowa.
