The more progressives want him to step aside, the more incentives capital interests will offer him to doggedly remain in the way.

That being said, he's up for re-election in 2028, isn't very popular in New York (or with democrat voters in general), and it probably won't make much of a difference if he stays on as majority leader while Trump is in office.

US politics is the definition of insanity. Oh and greed.

Just, like, go away. Once you were respected but now it's come to light you are just a shill that will do or say anything for the right amount of "donations".

He really makes an appealing case, lol

You gotta take the Senate to be the majority.

Baby steps. Or not. Steps. Whatever.

Fundraiser-in-chief

Senate Majority Leader isn't House Speaker. You command little procedural power and have no real tools to discipline rogue Senators.

The post is largely just an award for sucking up the most private money and distributing it to friendly Senators during tight reelections. The real power of the office is to throw $30M into a Michigan primary on behalf of your friends in Israel.

I've already contacted my senators twice to voice my hope that they don't vote for the gerontocracy. I also contacted Schumer's office to ask him to retire, for the sake of our country. Not that I think it'll do much, but it's something.
