Senator Ocasio-Cortez has a nice ring to it.
Never again hearing the name ‘Schumer’ again also has a nice ring to it.
If you add every single undecided to Schumer…
The survey by the liberal firm Data for Progress, first shared with POLITICO, found that 55 percent of Democratic likely voters said they supported or leaned toward supporting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided.
AOC would still have a double digit lead…
That is hilariously damning for Schumer. Granted, I don’t trust a poll these days further than I could throw an overweight pollster, but still: that is FAR outside the margin of error. Schumer fucking torpedoed his own legacy, and (save for the context of the government falling the fuck apart) it’s fucking hilarious. There’s going to be a whole chapter named after that dipshit in EU history textbooks (I don’t think the US will have history textbooks for a while. Or, they won’t be “US” history textbooks), and it’s going to be about the progression of how the DNC was captured by monied interests, and subsequently incrementalized their way into utter irrelevance.
Can’t get complacent, though. All seasoned politicians are experienced in rehabilitating their image before an election.
Oh yes do it AOC do it!
The election isn’t until 2028. I doubt Chuck even runs again, he’ll be 78. That Senate seat is likely AOC’s to claim, as long as she doesn’t run for President instead.
(And I bet that Senate seat will be her reward for not offering a primary challenge to Gavin Newsom…)
Per the article:
Schumer has filed paperwork to run for reelection.
Remember Dianne Feinstein. These mummies want to stay in power long, long after they should step down.
Of course he filed paperwork, that just lets him raise money. I expect him not to run, and spread the money around to candidates he likes…
Maybe he “stays in the race” for as long as it takes AOC to decide to not run for President …
For real, I don’t get why everyone is so excited over this. The political landscape will look very different in 2028 anyway.
No. The next U.S. Senate elections will be held on November 3, 2026. You know, next year.
Yes, but only about a third of the senate is up for re-election each time. schumer’s term doesn’t end until 2028.
agreed, but he can be removed from any committees and leadership roles now with a simple party vote in the senate. So lets get that done, or the dems can explain why they refuse to do it.
But Senators serve 6 years, and Chuck was elected to his 6 year term in 2022.
Ah you’re right, NY isn’t even on the elections list.
That’s just because of the… Uh… checks notes Anti-semites! Yeah!
Look out dinosaurs, the mammals are coming!
So that means they’re gonna hold a vote and oust him?
