I'm convinced Chuck is gonna retire and they will clear the field for her to take his seat, in exchange for a pledge to not run for President and interfere with Gavin's coronation. He's the Next One Up, after all....
Maybe after a term or three in the Senate the old misogynists will have died off and a Presidential candidate with a vagina can get elected.
Take the deal and then run anyway.
This so much! They actual left needs to start playing dirty because we’re fighting two fronts, the actual fascists and the embedded institutions of neoliberal status quo
Schumer isn't up for reelection until 2028, so that wouldn't really work. She would need to pick one or the other, she can't run for both simultaneously.
You can't hold both positions at the same time, but I think being on the ballot for multiple positions varies from state to state, not sure how it is in NY?
in 2008, Biden was running for VP and for his Senate seat, winning both. He was sworn in as Senator and then resigned like a week later before being sworn in as VP.
Right, but if the plan is for her to convince the Democrats to clear the senate primary field gor her, then run for president anyway...well, they're probably figure out she lied when she announces her presidential run, and i bet they'll find some centrists to run for Schumer's seat. If she wrre taking Schumer's seat this cycle, she could then lie about not seeking the presidency and run in two years, but that's not the timeline.
That's a bad deal. Fuck Gavin
I will never again hold my nose to vote. I think many progressives agree with me.
She should take it, renege, and then have Mamdani take her Senate seat when she takes President. Give those DNC shitbags a real one-two punch, lol.
Watch Hakeem Jefferies‘s eyeballs pop literally right the fuck out of his head, ha ha ha ha
I would like her to beat Schumer on merit though, just for the message it'll send to the incumbent democrats who have sat on their ass for the last 3 administrations.
Schumer has appeared so weak and ineffectual these last two years that I don't think he has a shot against any challenger, progressive or otherwise. Seriously, I'm pretty sure Cuomo or Adams could knock him out of that seat. Any honest advisor would probably tell him to not seek leadership again and retire at the end of his term so he can spare himself an embarrassing defeat.
Good luck convincing any of those old fucks to step down. If they could only communicate through beeps they would still claim they can do the job of governing
