"I've got some tough questions for ya, Lahren warned Auchincloss in the program's first segment. Do you think Sen. Schumer has been an effective leader and do you agree with some of those colleagues we just heard from that it's time for that change? She was referring to the 17 Democrats in the House of Representatives that have called for Schumer to step down, in the wake of the deal to reopen the government earlier this week."
"The Big Weekend Show had just run a compilation of several liberal Congress members saying they were ready for change, including Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) saying it was time for Schumer to go because he was out of touch; Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) made a similar comment, saying Dems need to stop protecting this establishment status quo. Fox News also included a clip from earlier this week where Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said no one really knows who is running the Democratic Party right now."
"I don't think Americans feel like Congress is working, period, right now. The appropriations process is dysfunctional, Congress has ceded way too much of its authority to the president on a host of issues from tariffs to law enforcement to military use and it's critical that we disrupt the status quo. But only Democrats can do that by taking back the House in 2026. That's the Congressional leader I'm focused on getting rid of, Speaker Mike Johnson, be"
Tomi Lahren asked Rep. Jack Auchincloss whether Sen. Chuck Schumer has been an effective leader and whether he should step down amid calls from 17 House Democrats. The program aired clips of liberal members, including Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Seth Moulton, and Sen. John Fetterman, urging change and questioning who leads the Democratic Party. Auchincloss declined to join calls for Schumer's removal and said his priority is thwarting President Donald Trump and unseating House Speaker Mike Johnson in 2026. Auchincloss described Congress as dysfunctional, citing the broken appropriations process and ceded presidential authority.
