Demonrats have no conscience, all they care about is power.
The story looks fake.
Here’s the problem. Schumer folded in January to get the current CR passed. He was told At That Time he will be primaried if it does it again.
Were he to bend the knee and fold again to push this current CR across the 60 vote line, it only lasts into November. The upheaval and rage would then unfold and could force him to outright retire, or to relinquish his Minority Leader position.
Point being this talk of retirement is all about getting 60 votes to end the shutdown. “Why not bend the knee, Chuck? You have nothing to lose?”
But come November he might have lost that Minority Leader position to challenges. It would be pointless.
If he’s going to retire it won’t be announced until next year, after he has a designated successor. And it would be long past CR expiration.
There is no shutdown solution in this.
