Chuck Schumer speaks: “It does not worry me,” the Senate minority leader told NOTUS’ Igor Bobic yesterday as the number of Democratic primary candidates running on opposing his leadership bid next year remains relatively high.
He was upbeat in the interview, telling NOTUS that his caucus has sloughed off the doldrums of 2025. “I feel like we’re going to take back the Senate,” Schumer said. “If you had to ask me last year, I would have said no.”
