Happy Monday to all in Chicago. The weather for this looks glorious — 70s, sunny, with no rain on the horizon.
Let’s be honest: You’re here to raise money and party. We feel you. Chicago is great, and Vice President Kamala Harris will be making history. But it’s really about the parties. So let’s go.
The Leaders’ Day: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will both attend the New York State breakfast. Jeffries will talk about protecting New York Frontline Democrats and flipping key House seats in the Empire State. New York Democratic Reps. Jerry Nadler, Yvette Clarke and Nydia Velázquez will speak, as will Gov. Kathy Hochul and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.).
Before the convention begins, Jeffries is hosting an NYCxCHI event with musical guests, donors, stakeholders and friends.
Schumer will also attend the Wisconsin breakfast and will take part in union events and DSCC engagements.
