Is this the end of Chuck Schumer?
The Hill ^ | 11/17/25 8:30 AM ET | Douglas E. Schoen

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...

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.

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.

A bad image is difficult to overcome, even if you still think you are a big shot.

the five-term senator and nine-term representative

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.

The article is devoid of any mention as to whom his replacement might be if he is ousted.

Others have ideas...
Ro Khanna identifies ‘dynamic’ leaders to replace Schumer (Politico)

On Sunday, Khanna praised some leading Senate Democrats, calling Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.) a “top leader” and Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.) and Brian Schatz (Hawaii) “dynamic” as well as saying he “appreciates” the ideology of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.). Let the cat fights and jockeying begin.

He can regain his stature by filibustering the passage of the Epstein file release when it gets to the Senate.
