Up Close: NY Senator Chuck Schumer reflects on midterm elections

In this episode of Up Close, Senator Chuck Schumer discusses what is to come from the recent midterm elections and the future of his party. Bill RItter also takes a closer look at former President Trump's political future.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- It was a big week in Washington, and a big week as well for New York's Senior Senator Chuck Schumer.

In this week's episode of Up Close, we sit down with the Senate Majority Leader, to discuss the close margins in our current government.

Democrats in the midterms picked up a Republican seat, but on Capitol Hill, Republicans will soon control the House of Representatives.

Are we in for two years of gridlock or two years of bipartisan effort to get things done in Washington?

Plus, Bill Ritter talks with ABC Political Director Rick Klein and political consultant Hank Sheinkopf about former President Donald Trump's political future.
