Schumer’s Popularity Compared to Elon Musk and Ebola: Calls for Democratic Leadership Change
Senator Chuck Schumer’s recent vote for a Republican-backed continuing resolution has sparked significant backlash within his own party. House Democrats, expressing palpable frustration, are even reportedly encouraging Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to launch a primary challenge in 2028. This internal conflict is further fueled by criticism from former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who publicly condemned the vote and implied Schumer had made a poor political calculation. Schumer’s approval rating among Democrats is reportedly extremely low, and he has been forced to postpone book tour events due to planned protests.
