Democrats have generally been unable to agree on much over the past year. But they now seemingly agree on one thing: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) must go.
Indeed, it appears that Schumer’s leadership position is increasingly untenable as he comes under fire from both moderates and his left flank.
Democrats’ commentary on the five-term senator and nine-term representative underscores how precarious Schumer’s position is.
After eight Democrats broke with their party to reopen the government, critiques of Schumer’s leadership were many. They included the simple demand, “He must resign.” He was also accused of trying to “screw over” the party. Schumer was also held up as “another example of why we need new leadership.” And that’s just what Democrats in Congress had to say.
Moreover, according to the Wall Street Journal, “at least 11 House Democrats, 11 progressive nonprofits and six Democratic Senate candidates have called on Mr. Schumer to step down as minority leader.”
In other words, Schumer has managed to alienate virtually everyone in his party. Progressives blame him for not being strong enough to rein in the “defectors” while moderates “grouse that he (Schumer) engineered the longest shutdown ever for nothing.”
At a time when voters of both parties, but particularly Democrats, are upset with the gerontocracy in Washington, the ground under Schumer’s feet appears shakier than at any point in his long career.
Polling data continues to underscore the fact that this is likely Schumer’s end.
According to CNN, with his minus-4 point net favorability among Democratic voters, Schumer is the least popular Democratic Senate leader since polls began asking this question in 1985.
The same poll suggests that if Schumer were up for...

Chuckie should have been shown the door years ago.
“..Is This The End of Chuck Schumer?...”
Naaa...kinda looks the same, but it’s just the butthole of a jackass after a good dump. LOL
He is toast. AOC will be the next Senator from NY replacing him.
I can’t stand the bastard. But.. whoever replaces him could be even worse.
Schumer is a typical career politician. He doesn’t care about ideology, the country, or it’s citizens. Schumer only cares about power and wealth. The rising commies in the Dem party care about ideology as well as power and wealth. With a communist government, they can secure their power in ways not as readily available now.
Schumer is old and in their way, he’s toast.
“Chuckie should have been shown the door years ago.”
I agree...but who’s going to take his place? Compared to the Squad, he’s a moderate.

This could be the beginning of the end.
AOC. I did tell all of you not to “underestimate” her. Go back and read my post.
Chuckie’s used by date expired some time ago. Unfortunately the psycho commie will replace him, as senator.
Why are they never willing to pass the torch and be remembered as great statesmen, but will stay until they fester and rot and thus despised.
Not that Schumer was either great, nor statesman, but like Sniffy, he’ll be remembered just as a failing old curmudgeon.
whoever replaces him WILL be even worse.
A bad image is difficult to overcome, even if you still think you are a big shot.
If Schumer ain’t going feet first into a tree chipper into the East River then No we in the USA ain’t seen the last of him .
Meet the new garbage, same as the old garbage.
That odious, parasitic turd has been in government his entire life (since 1975). He has never held a private sector job, and has been slithering around D.C. since 1981.
He can't be gone soon enough.
As with Pelosi, whomever replaces him will be much worse.
Others have ideas...
Ro Khanna identifies ‘dynamic’ leaders to replace Schumer (Politico)
Democrats change names but not problems.
He can regain his stature by filibustering the passage of the Epstein file release when it gets to the Senate.
