Schumer definitely didn't give his support willingly. And nobody cares what he has to say anyway.
The comments here are ridiculous, he is only giving support because Platner is winning without him and it’s a bad look if democrats don’t support a dem candidate.

There's no Cuomo or Adams left to stay in the race. It is just Platner and Collins now. So unless you're down with more Collins, it's Platner for Mainers.
Dang right, I support him even if he’s another fetterman or santos… status quo must go…
Cool thing is, based on all the weird comments on Lemmy, as if that is any good way to make a decision haha, I don’t think he is

Well this is Lemmy.ml, you couldn't have had high expectations from the start.
Oh dear, those centrists need to get their heads out of their asses.
I'm sure Schumer got something in exchange which he does care about then.
Probably his promise to vote for Chuckles to remain Senate leader. I remember AOC campaigning on voting against Nancy Pelosi as House leader. Her very first vote in Congress was to make Pelosi leader.
And as Senate leader Schumer will do everything in his power to keep the left pro-Israel and use his position of high power to make that happen. Including AOC voting to send interceptor missiles to Israel.
And so the circle is round again.
