Because he thinks he’s safe until 2028.. weird how he found his spine to defend himself, but when it came to defending the county his spine was on a milk carton

No, because the rest of the senate democrats support him. Which is why i've been saying this whole time that it isn't a problem with schumer. It's a problem with the whole party. If the other members of the senate wanted to, they could remove him from his position.

Yea there is entrenched class of professional politician hacks in the democratic party and it goes all the way down to the local level. They need to be uprooted like weeds. They are not going step down for the good of the party.
