Chuck Schumer caught on hot mic with Joe Biden about election, Herschel Walker | USA TODAY #Shorts

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was caught on a hot mic telling President Joe Biden that Georgia’s Senate race is “going downhill” for Democrats.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told President Joe Biden that Georgia’s Senate race is “going downhill” for Democrats, remarks made Thursday that were captured by a hot mic. "The state where we're going downhill is Georgia," Schumer said to Biden. "It's hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker."

The audio was captured by television cameras as the Democratic Senate leader greeted Biden at a tarmac in Syracuse, N.Y., where Biden later gave remarks touting Micron Technology's plans for a $100 billion semiconductor plant. The president's response to Schumer was not picked up by the audio.

Georgia Republican Senate nominee, Herschel Walker, narrowly lead Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in the two most recent public polls of the race released. Walker, a former University of Georgia football star, has faced multiple allegations from women who say he paid for them to have abortions.

I'd call that a pretty lukewarm mic

[HopkinsIsNotAVictim]

It must feel weird for Biden to be included in one of these conversations!

[janicelaporte]

If only they cared so much for our country as they do about holding seats they know nothing it politics.

[kaltrex]

Nearly everyone should be voted out. Nearly all top voices take kickbacks from you name it.
End Citizens United and let citizens unite in a different way against lobbying. Millions spent on advertising by corps that try to be secretive of who they fund

[thetruthserum]

"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is starting to take on a new meaning lately...

[Marvel-tj]

Hard to believe?!? Democrats are bringing this country to its knees. Hope to God they take the diesel fuel crises seriously, otherwise this country is in deep.

[razlou]

And we can’t blame the politicians we can only blame the people that voted for them they are the ones that create this chaos

[archity]

Honestly they know exactly what's going on, probably better than most of the public, but then get on TV and lie through their teeth.

[AnalyticalReckoner]

Imagine if our politicians were honest with us as well.

[jackiecarter]

Nevada is a Red State!❤ I've lived there for 30 years and we're a Red State! Trump for 2024!❤🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸

[mclark]

Two normal people having a normal discussion, no lying about it, even if it is in disbelieve.

[dudz]

Caught? When there’s a camera 2 feet away from you LMAO

[heinzruedi]

Taking Showers with my dad wasn’t probably such a good Idea!

[iwalkincircles]

Another episode of "Days of a Politician." Greatest soap opera ever.

[markfinley]

It’s all about power, not for doing what’s best for the people that put them in charge!

[godzilla]

They know their screwed. Chuck is just informing the guy that doesn't know anything.

[mickpratt]

Three minutes later Biden asked where Schumer was with his election update.

[jayjones]

So Proud of Biden for not sniffing Upchuxcks Hair.

[theprecipiceofreason]

I could put these takes in a cooler for an Arizona hiking trip. Save this mic for a nuclear reactor core failure to save a Japanese coastline. You could deposit this mic in the arctic to reverse global warming.

This is the new mob. They arrested all of them, learned their tricks and used them.
