Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, wants fellow Senate Democrats to create spectacles when they question the nominees of President-elect Donald Trump over the coming weeks, according to a new report.
The lawmaker said at a meeting on Wednesday afternoon that increasing the heat during the confirmation hearings would help to provoke negative press for the incoming Republican administration, according to a report from Axios.
“Republicans spent four years attacking the Democratic brand, and we need to use the hearings to begin returning the favor,” the lawmaker reportedly said.
Schumer also told members of the Democratic caucus on Tuesday that they should focus on MAGA and how the policies backed by the movement would affect the country when asking their questions.
"Schumer reminded senators that they have an opportunity to seize the narrative from a GOP that is convinced the public is on its side on the economy, the border, and cultural issues," the outlet reported.
The orders from Schumer come two months after Trump decisively defeated Vice President Kamala Harris, a development which provoked debates among Democrats about the future of the party.
Trump won all seven major swing states and became the first Republican presidential nominee in 20 years to win the popular vote.
Many Democrats have already signaled that they are ready to challenge Trump’s nominees.
Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren wrote a 33-page letter on Monday to Pete Hegseth, the Army veteran and former Fox News host tapped by Trump to lead the Defense Department, challenging him on his views.

This will backfire bigly. Schumer is a loser and an idiot. That clown has no idea how much he is hated and ridiculed.
I expect no less from the petulant, childish party...
Democrats make everything a circus. Situation normal for them.
No, that the old Democrat playbook that just got fired.
So bring it Schmuck. Because you Senate Democrats are going to learn the same lesson the Junk Media and the Harris campaign learned. You have highly vulnerable Senate seats up in 2026 is areas Trump turned red. So play your games clown but don’t cry when you get what your actions so richly deserve
The US people are sick of the DC clown show and want ACTION not politics as usual.
Meanwhile the ‘pubs rolled over and confirmed 99% of the Dem nominations with no opposition.
....and the fake news media is chomping at the bit to aid and abet.
We hate to admit it but Schumer was absolutely right.
By the Grace of God Trump’s life was spared.
Stephen Seagal, sneeringly to CIA agents in Above the Law:
“What have you guys got planned this time? Another motorcade shooting or coming in from the kitchen from behind again?
Bring it on!
Schumer making sure the Dems are ready for the hearings:

I recognized several Dems.
Time for Chucks front door to get kicked in.
give him one chance then call a recess... Do what needs to be done.
throw all the Democrats off the committee
John Fetterman, we could use a bit of sanity here, strange as that request might be.
That is so wrong!
Given the current political climate, I do not not think this is a wise policy.
That is quite understandable and expected since schumer is a pathetic CLOWN.
Apparently Schumer hasn’t been informed that most real Americans don’t care about his stupid plan because they already think any state or House district east of the Delaware River is represented in Congress by a retard.
Chuck Schumer aka Chuck Tumor ... one of the cancerous tumors attacking this Republic.
