Chuck Schumer News and Blog Posts

After several weeks of flailing and muddled messaging, the Democratic Party found its voice last week. They saw a clear injustice committed and spoke out powerfully against its perpetrator. They delivered their message with a clarity and forcefulness that had previously been missing, and there’s no question that they inflicted significant political damage on their septuagenarian target. It’s still unclear whether he will survive their attacks. 

A majority vote for a pro-choice bill supported by the Democrats would mark a major step forward and an even more powerful message than a slightly stronger bill that was defeated.

Schumer has spent the last several months somehow expecting Manchin and Sinema to do something other than drop the political equivalent of an anvil on his head.
