WASHINGTON (AP) — Shoes off, an almost-empty container of leftovers, an unfinished glass of wine -- this was the exhausted portrait of one of the most powerful Democrats in Washington after Senate passage of President Joe Biden’s sweeping health, climate and economic package.
New York’s Chuck Schumer effectively moved from minority to majority leader of the U.S. Senate on the morning of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, and he has helmed the chamber through a tumultuous, messy and yet surprisingly productive run with the longest evenly split 50-50 Senate in the nation’s history.
Methodical he is not, as the crumbs scattered on the senatorial carpet in his office off the Senate floor attest.
But with a willingness to broker politically unpleasant compromises and a New Yorker’s drive to keep pestering his colleagues, Schumer is using his party’s fragile congrol of the Senate to substantive, sizable accomplishments unseen in recent years.
“Persistence. I persist,” Schumer said in an interview late Sunday evening after the round-the-clock session and Senate passage of Biden’s bill.

They should name a type of toenail fungus after Schumer.
Because Republicans are pussies.
“How Schumer’s messy style delivers for Dems: ‘I persist’”
So do hemorrhoids Chuck and they have a lot in common with you.
Schumer is the poster-boy of an evil our Framers hoped we’d avoid. He’s a lifelong politician who looks out for the power interests of himself and his party and nothing else.
The country be damned.
AP’s slobbering admiration for the scumbag is nauseating.
Isn’t it amazing the lengths they will go to, to SCREW the American people?
87K new IRS agents
The most repulsive man in Washington.

Yes, like a rectal itch.
More like a banana republic. Start calling him sinator chiquita.
Never held a real job as far as I know.
Working tirelessly to destroy an entire nation.
Chuckie baby is a shorty like putin: 5 feet 7
BTW, Amy Schumer disgusting comedian and Chuck Schumer disgusting politician are cousins!
Schumer is any expletive we hurl at him, but he gets things done. Milquetoast Mitch not so much.
ALL Bush League Republicans are Assistant Democrats.
Too bad about your daughter’s friend, Schmuck
